The response that best analyzes the intent of the First Amendment in relation to religion is:

Citizens have both the right to free exercise of religion and that of not having to follow an established religion.

This reflects the dual protections offered by the First Amendment: the free exercise clause, which guarantees individuals the right to practice their religion freely, and the establishment clause, which prohibits the government from establishing a national religion or favoring one religion over another.
