It makes me sad that a measure of this nature has to be brought up at this point in Human history. I thought the worst of this had been laid to rest at the end of WWII. Part of the problem is that civics and government aren't part of the curriculum of primary and secondary education. Once it was understood that a person's rights existed to the point of interfering with another persons. For decades we've been raising children that feel entitled, feeling that what they want is the most important thing in life, and to }{ell with what you want. Then they become adults in the "Real" world and get angry that they can't have their juice box and nap time. That they have to get up every day and do some work to survive. So here we are at a point where we have to show them that negative actions garner negative results. And Chucky won't bring it to the Senate floor until he hears from The WH?

Greene's opposition to a bill that would combat antisemitism comes at a time when a number of conservatives are embracing ancient Christian anti-Jewish themes

She voted no because the bill would theoretically outlaw her religious beliefs, not because her religious beliefs said Antisemitism is bad.
MTG specifically condemned Antisemitism.

First Amendment:
Amdt1.4.1 Freedom
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Religion and the Founding of the American Republic
In response to widespread sentiment that to survive the United States needed a stronger federal government, a convention met in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787 and on September 17 adopted the Constitution of the United States. Aside from Article VI, which stated that "no religious Test shall ever be required as Qualification" for federal office holders, the Constitution said little about religion. Its reserve troubled two groups of Americans--those who wanted the new instrument of government to give faith a larger role and those who feared that it would do so. This latter group, worried that the Constitution did not prohibit the kind of state-supported religion that had flourished in some colonies, exerted pressure on the members of the First Federal Congress. In September 1789 the Congress adopted the First Amendment to the Constitution, which, when ratified by the required number of states in December 1791, forbade Congress to make any law "respecting an establishment of religion."
Religion and the Constitution
When the Constitution was submitted to the American public, "many pious people" complained that the document had slighted God, for it contained "no recognition of his mercies to us . . . or even of his existence." The Constitution was reticent about religion for two reasons: first, many delegates were committed federalists, who believed that the power to legislate on religion, if it existed at all, lay within the domain of the state, not the national, governments; second, the delegates believed that it would be a tactical mistake to introduce such a politically controversial issue as religion into the Constitution.
The only "religious clause" in the document--the proscription of religious tests as qualifications for federal office in Article Six--was intended to defuse controversy by disarming potential critics who might claim religious discrimination in eligibility for public office.
That religion was not otherwise addressed in the Constitution did not make it an "irreligious" document any more than the Articles of Confederation was an "irreligious" document.
The Constitution dealt with the church precisely as the Articles had, thereby maintaining, at the national level, the religious status quo.
In neither document did the people yield any explicit power to act in the field of religion. But the absence of expressed powers did not prevent either the Continental-Confederation Congress or the Congress under the Constitution from sponsoring a program to support general, nonsectarian religion.
