“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise there of” Two clauses: – Establishment clause – Free Exercise clause

Establishment and free exercise clause often conflict with each other In schools, the religion issue is most prevalent If a student raises his hand and says “teacher, can we say an opening prayer before this test” If the teacher says: “Yes”, It looks like establishment of religion “No”, It is denying a student free exercise.

Establishment Clause—Government cannot promote religion
