Is There Still a Separation of Church and State?
Brought to you by the American Bar Association
Recorded July 12, 2022
As the October 2021 term drew to a close, the United States Supreme Court delivered two momentous church-state decisions that upended long-standing understandings on the relationship of the First Amendment's Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause, the so-called "Religion Clauses." These two cases, Carson v. Makin (mandating state funding of religious schools when nonpublic school tuition is funded) and Kennedy v. Bremerton School District (holding in favor of a public high school football coach's engaging in prayer at the 50-yard line following football games) raise crucial questions as to whether state actors have any leeway in determining where church-state lines are to be drawn, as well as regarding the meaning, and even continued viability, of concepts of constitutional analysis as "coercion" and "endorsement." Other cases during the just-completed term covered new ground in the relationship of free speech protections to the Religion Clauses, and the limits free exercise protections may place on prison administration. We hear from several experts on the implications of these cases, as well as look down the road to church-state cases that the Supreme Court will be considering in the term to come.

The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American
Christian nationalists assert that our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and advocate an agenda based on this popular historical claim. But is this belief true? Andrew L. Seidel, a constitutional attorney at the Freedom from Religion Foundation, will refute their claim, showing how the Bible actually contradicts the Declaration of Independence’s central tenets and that Christian nationalism is un-American.
