And wasn't there a SC case a few years ago where some Quakers said paying taxes was against their religion that the SC ruled against?

Yeah, that's why the religious freedom exemption is a bit odd to me.

Who determines which religious gripes are legitimate or not? Can't I just be like "uh, yeah, I'm a member of a religion where I don't have to pay taxes and can't be drafted and should be allowed to own four grenade launchers. It says so in this book here, dude. It's holy 'n' shite." I mean, religious freedom 'n' all, right?
