“Free Exercise of Religion” Not Allowed in North Carolina
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America
The Supreme court has ruled that prayer specifically referring to the name “Jesus Christ” cannot be spoken during any meeting in Forsyth County, North Carolina.
Where is the correct balance between establishing a particular religion over other religions, and the prohibition of any religion?
If religion is to be allowed at all in the United States, it must be unimpeded by the government. To allow prayer to be conducted during a meeting, but restrict the structure of that prayer, is a clear violation of the free exercise and freedom of speech clauses of the first Amendment of the Constitution.
