The First Amendment and Equal Protection Clause analysis engaged in by the Supreme Court in Batson v. Kentucky and J.E.B. v. Alabama ex rel. T.E.B. should be extended to peremptory challenges based on religion. In Batson, race-based exclusion from jury service was found unconstitutional, and gander-based peremptory challenges were struck down in J.E.B. v. Alabama ex rel. T.B. Discrimination based on religious beliefs should be held to the same strict scrutiny test. Since these types of challenges are not narrowly tailored, they too must be found unconstitutional.
