My religious beliefs are heavily burdened by the State and Federal Governments, what should I do first?

Without telling us how laws are affecting your ability to practice, its impossible to tell you what to do.

You need to consult with an attorney that handles constitutional law. Without explaining what religious beliefs are being infringed upon, it is very difficult to answer your question.

You can speak to a civil rights attorney. FYI, no Constitutionally protected right is absolute.

Your question is so general that it is impossible to answer. Are you saying that your religion has been criminalized? What do you mean that you want amnesty? Are you not a citizen?

You should try to identify exactly which actions you want to take, that are required by your religion, that the laws prohibit. Some things may be required by some religion or other, but nevertheless are prohibited by law. Some people believe that their religion requires them to kill unbelievers, or to have multiple wives, or to have sex with children, or to use force to convert someone to their religion, but the courts have upheld laws prohibiting all of that. Once you have identified what you are prohibited from doing, consult with a constitutional or civil rights lawyer about whether a challenge to the laws prohibiting those actions will have a reasonable chance of success, or not.
