in the 1994 case "board of education of kiryas joel village school district v. grumet", supreme court justice david souter wrote in the opinion for the court that: "government should not prefer one religion to another, or religion to irreligion". "everson v. board of education" established that "neither a state nor the federal government can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another". this applies the establishment clause to the states as well as the federal government. however, several state constitutions make the protection of persons from religious discrimination conditional on their acknowledgment of the existence of a deity, making freedom of religion in those states inapplicable to atheists. these state constitutional clauses have not been tested. civil rights cases are typically brought in federal courts, so such state provisions are mainly of symbolic importance.
