the meaning of "rise to the demands of "
Hello,guys. i want to know the meaning of "rise to the demands" in the following sentence: Not all beliefs rise to the demands of the religious clause of the First Amendment. There needs to be evidence of true and objective religious practices, instead of an individual making his or her standards on such matters. Please explain the whole sentence generally and then the use of "rise to the demands" in detail. Thank you in advance
