The Establishment Clause & The Free Exercise Clause Freedom of Religion The Establishment Clause & The Free Exercise Clause

Two guarantees of religious freedom: Freedom of Expression Two guarantees of religious freedom: Establishment Clause Guards against establishing a mandated religion. In effect, freedom from religion Free Exercise Clause Guards against the government interfering in the exercise of any religion. In effect, freedom for religion.

Separation of Church and State A wall of separation? Church and government are constitutionally separated from one another. However, the government supports churches and religion in a variety of ways, including tax exemption.

Religion and Education The Supreme Court has had to consider many Establishment Clause cases that involve religion and education.

The Lemon Test is based on Lemon v. Kurtzman, 1971. The purpose of the aid must be nonreligious. The aid can neither advance nor inhibit religion. Aid must not excessively entangle the government with religion.

Other Establishment Clause Cases Seasonal Displays Lynch v. Donnelly, 1984— allowed the display of a nativity scene along with other nonreligious objects on public land County of Allegheny v. ACLU, 1989—prohibited an exclusively Christian holiday display Pittsburgh v. ACLU, 1989—allowed a multi-faith holiday display Chaplains The Supreme Court ruled in Marsh v. Chamber, 1983 that it was permissible for chaplains to open daily sessions of Congress and State legislatures

The Free Exercise Clause Limits Actions that violate social duties or disrupt social order are not covered under the Free Exercise Clause. Examples: Bigamy Using poisonous snakes during religious ceremonies Schoolchildren who have not been vaccinated Free Exercise Upheld The Court has found many government actions to be counter to the Free Exercise Clause. Examples: Amish children cannot be forced to go to school after grade 8 Ministers are allowed to hold elective office Unemployment benefits cannot be denied to someone who quit their job because of religious beliefs
