McDonald · Cutter“This does not mean that the law's purpose must be unrelated to religion-that would amount to a requirement that the government show a callous indifference to religious groups, and the Establishment Clause has never been so interpreted. Rather, Lemon `s "purpose" requirement aims at preventing the relevant government decisionmaker-in this case, Congress-from abandoning neutrality and acting with the intent of promoting a particular point of view in religious matters.”
