I don't really understand that, but I think it's freedom _of_ religion, in the Constitution.  However, at least to some extent, one implies the other.
Take the Supreme Court decision on abortion as an example. Perhaps those judges with strong religious views in the subject should have recused themselves.
The rest of us * now have to comply with their religion. Is that not forced participation?
IMO you can't have freedom of religion without freedom from religion.

"Freedom from forced participation" is a valid concern, but why limit
it to religion? Why not include, say, pep rallies?
