Trinity Lutheran Church v. Missouri  (2017) US Supreme Court (7-2) 

"This Court has repeatedly confirmed that denying a generally available benefit solely on account of religious identity imposes a penalty on the free exercise of religion."

"The Free Exercise Clause protects against “indirect coercion or penalties on the free exercise of religion, not just outright prohibitions.” 

" The Department’s discriminatory policy does not survive the “most rigorous” scrutiny that this Court applies to laws imposing special disabilities on account of religious status.  Lukumi, 508 U. S., at 546.  That standard demands a state interest “of the highest order” to justify the policy at issue."

"But the exclusion of Trinity Lutheran from a public benefit for which it is otherwise qualified, solely because it is a church, is odious to our Constitution all the same, and cannot stand."

$120,000 in legal fees sound about right?
