Religion Clause

Read a random definition: inter virum et uxorem

A quick definition of Religion Clause:

The Religion Clause is a part of the Bill of Rights that says Congress cannot make any laws that establish a religion or stop people from practicing their own religion. This means that everyone has the right to believe in and practice any religion they choose, without interference from the government.

A more thorough explanation:

The Religion Clause is a provision in the Bill of Rights that states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This means that the government cannot establish an official religion or interfere with an individual's right to practice their religion.

For example, a public school cannot require students to participate in a specific religious activity or display religious symbols in the classroom. Similarly, the government cannot pass a law that prohibits individuals from practicing their religion, such as banning certain religious practices or beliefs.

The Religion Clause is important because it protects the freedom of religion for all individuals and prevents the government from favoring one religion over another. It ensures that individuals have the right to practice their religion without fear of persecution or discrimination.

@windyMagician: not at all. Michigan is also very generous with aid, so if you get enough it makes perfect sense to take it.

I’m sure you’ll get good merit aid though. Look at Michigan’s 509 report. They’re very generous.
