I'm not sure what you mean. Like if a law banned study of the bible, what do you do? Could you give a specific example?

Civil disobedience is always possible, particularly if the law prohibits (or mandates) something particularly important.

The same thing everyone else does when the laws conflict with their values. I disagree with the laws over half of the time, and do you know what I do about it? Nothing. I can break some of the laws, but some of them are too well enforced, and I don't want to go to prison, so I've got no choice but to follow them, or get locked up.
An example would be making it illegal to profess faith publicly. ie. someone says you statements are hate! If they are or are not is irrelevant. It seems that our rights to free speech are diminishing (not just Christians but everyone).
Several passages in the Bible have been marked as hate, when it is against the law to speak of them in your church for fear of fines or worse. Is one example of what I speak.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but wouldn't this be going against the Constitution?
Depends who is sitting on the bench!
