Trinity Lutheran--Neutrality in the Welfare State

 

 

 

 

If the goal of the enterprise of the First Amendment is to treat religion and nonreligion neutrally (neither advance nor inhibit the one or the other, neither endorse a message of approval or disapproval of the one or the other), how should the benefits of government be distributed to private individuals and institutions here in the Welfare State?

Is the baseline of benefits only for the non-religious neutral between religion and nonreligion?
