[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1378817, member: 25776"] CB, Recognize as I am confident you do, the Supreme Court, right or wrong depending on your persuasion, has ruled on the two provisions in the First Amendment - the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. The Establishment Clause restrains the government from "establishing" a religion. As follows: [b]The First Amendment has two provisions concerning religion: the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. The Establishment clause prohibits the government from "establishing" a religion. The precise definition of "establishment" is unclear. Historically, it meant prohibiting state-sponsored churches, such as the Church of England. Today, what constitutes an "establishment of religion" is often governed under the three-part test set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court in Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971). Under the "Lemon" test, government can assist religion only if (1) the primary purpose of the assistance is secular, (2) the assistance must neither promote nor inhibit religion, and (3) there is no excessive entanglement between church and state.[/b] [/QUOTE]
