Recently, there has been a lot of discussion proposing a
constitutional amendment to essentially codify that
marriage is only between one man and one woman.

One thing I have yet to hear discussed is how this would
affect the freedom of religion clause.

If this amendment were to be adopted, then the only legal
religions allowed would be either one of the Christain
flavors or Judaism; almost all other religions allow
polygamy. Granted, people of those religions who currently
live in the US do not practice polygamy, because every
state has laws against it. This amendment would, however,
codify into the Constitution that those other religions
would not have offical sanction in the US.
