The new religion and the Constitution
Article Abstract:
Government funding of religious organizations to provide social services would pose difficult constitutional dilemmas. Standards of accountability and inclusion imposed on such organizations could violate religious freedom, while their absence could result in violations of the rights of those who access the services. The best solution is for government simply to refrain from funding religion.
