Was SCOTUS neutral towards religion? It seems to me, an attempt was made in the Alabama law to make concessions to the non religious and thus WAS neutral.The United States Supreme Court struck down the Alabama "moment of silence" law. The Court found that the "moment of silence" law had no secular (non-religious) purpose, but did in fact have a religious purpose which was to bring prayer into public schools. The Establishment Clause requires governmental neutrality toward religion. According to the Court, the State of Alabama was not neutral toward religion. The Court held that Alabama was promoting religion and infringing upon individuals' "freedom of conscience."
If you actually read the specifics of the case, I'm guessing you wouldn't have posted something quite so ignorant. But I could be wrong.
