Nonreligion, Neutrality, And The Seventh Circuit’S Mistake, Sara S. Ruff
Sara S Ruff
In this article I argue that atheism is a not a religion for First Amendment purposes; therefore, atheists are not entitled to protection under the Free Exercise Clause. However, this lack of protection under the Free Exercise Clause is of no consequence because atheism is adequately protected under the Establishment Clause. Further, by attempting to bring claims under the Free Exercise Clause, atheists are jeopardizing their protections under the Establishment Clause. Finally, I address a recent wrongly-decided Seventh Circuit case which threatens to undermine the Religious Clauses overall.
