The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution contains the Establishment Clause, which prohibits the government from promoting religion, and the Free Exercise Clause, which guarantees religious liberty. Together, these are known as the Religion Clauses, and they have been at the center of some of the Supreme Court's most controversial decisions, such as school prayer, state funding for religious schools, and the placement of religious displays on public property. Many scholars, judges, and politicians have proclaimed that the Court's church-state decisions are "incoherent" and even "contradictory". This course will examine these criticisms of the Court's church-state jurisprudence and explore whether any consistent principles underlie this area of the law. Is there a basis on which "separationists," who advocate for a strict separation of church and state, and "accommodationists," who believe that government may promote some religious activities, can find common ground?
