[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 286055, member: 8259"] It was not as clear as you would like. The decision was 5-4. From the dissent. The Establishment Clause does not require that the public sector be insulated from all things which may have a religious significance or origin. This Court has recognized that "religion has been closely identified with our history and government," [I]Abington School District, supra[/I] at [URL="http://supreme.justia.com/us/374/203/case.html#212"][U][COLOR=#0000ff]374 U. S. 212[/COLOR][/U][/URL], and that "[t]he history of man is inseparable from the history of religion," [I]Engel v. Vitale,[/I] [URL="http://supreme.justia.com/us/370/421/case.html"][U][COLOR=#0000ff]370 U. S. 421[/COLOR][/U][/URL], [URL="http://supreme.justia.com/us/370/421/case.html#434"][U][COLOR=#0000ff]434[/COLOR][/U][/URL] (1962). [/QUOTE]
