	This paper will analyze the scope of what the United States legal system as well as their international counterparts recognize and therefore, define as religion (part 2), to develop an argument supporting the potential need for limitations on unorthodox religions in the modern era (part 3) as exemplified in the instances of the following: the practice of LaVeyan Satanism, Scientology, and Pastafarianism (part 4). For the purposes of specificity, the following analysis will focus on the United States government and federal courts’ opinions regarding the topic at hand.
