Explanation:

The First Amendment's religion clauses include the Establishment Clause (prohibiting government establishment of a national religion) and the Free Exercise Clause (protecting religious practice).

1. There is no bar on religious groups running government, so this is false.
2. The Free Exercise Clause protects religious practice from government interference, so this is true.
3. Religious organizations must follow general laws (e.g., tax, safety), so this is false.
4. The Establishment Clause bans a national religion, so this is true.
5. The government is not prohibited from using "God" in official materials, so this is false.

Answer:

• The government cannot stop people from practicing their religion.
• The government cannot create a national religion.
