The government should not be permitted to create incentives for
religious practice or belief (like giving favored status to
religious organizations, as compared to other nonprofits), to facilitate the
religious practices of some at the expense of others (like offering vocal prayers in public schools), or to accommodate one religion but not others
with similar needs or problems (like limiting draft exemptions to members of traditional «peace churches») Within these guidelines,
religious accommodations are fully in
keeping with the First Amendment — albeit in conflict
with strict separation.
Keep it at home,
practice it all you want in your heart, but when it comes to voting for prayer in public school, or more military funding of Israel, make that vote
with everyone in mind, not just your narrow
religious world view.
