No government shall impose a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person residing in or confined to an institution, as defined in section 1997 of this title , even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, unless the government demonstrates that imposition of the burden on that person— is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest; and is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest. This section applies in any case in which— the substantial burden is imposed in a program or activity that receives Federal financial assistance; or the substantial burden affects, or removal of that substantial burden would affect, commerce with foreign nations, among the several States, or with Indian tribes.
