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.
