1. First Amendment Day 2: Freedom of Religion Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

2. FREE EXERCISE CLAUSE: GOVERNMENT CAN’T STOP AMERICANS FROM PRACTICING RELIGION FREELY Establishment Clause: The government can’t make a national religion or show preference to any religion

3. Freedom of Religion Which Justice feels this way? ___________________ There should be a “wall” between Church and State The government can’t favor, sponsor or participate in any religion. We should use the Lemon Test to decide whether a law is too religious. ___________________ The government can be involved with religion as long as it treats all religions equally The founding fathers didn’t want a wall between Church and State. If they did, they would have written it into the Constitution

4. Lemon Test Is the purpose of the law religious? Is the effect of the law to support or restrict religion? Does the law have the government tangle with religion?
