Ok, so how about we make membership in a Christian church a requirement for welfare too? I guess that's not a clear violation of the First Amendment because you don't HAVE to take the benefits...

IANAL but I don't believe the government can make services contingent on something that would clearly be a constitutional violation imposed on the general public. Something about equal protection of the laws, I know that pesky 14th amendment isn't everyone's favorite...
