I'm pretty sure the ruling is saying that due to how the Religious Freedom Restoration Act is worded, suing individual agents of the government qualifies as redress against the government; The RFRA more specifically defines what 'the government' means to include agents of the government acting in their individual capacities.
> (a) RFRA’s text provides that persons may sue and “obtain appro-priate relief against a government,” 42 U. S. C. §2000bb–1(c), includ-ing an “official (or other person acting under color of law) of the United States,” §2000bb–2(1). [1]
