yet only one non-Christian group has ever won a free exercise case at the Supreme Court.
The linked article, posted in 2009, cites Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. City of Hialeah, 501 U.S. 520 (1993) as the “only one” example, but fails to notice Gonzales v. O Centro Espirita Beneficente Uniao do Vegetal, 546 U.S. 418 (2006).
Like Lukumi Babalu Aye’s Santería, the União do Vegetal is syncretic with some Christian influence, though.
That looks like a RFRA case, not a free exercise clause case. (I’m going to edit my comment above to add the word “clause”, since that is what I had intended to refer to, and what the article probably intends with its initial caps on the first occurrence of the term).
