Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In addition, the husband apparently does not share his wife’s religious beliefs about divorce, since he sought the decree. Under these circumstances, to compel him to remain married because of the wife’s religious beliefs would be to prefer her beliefs over his. Any such preference is prohibited by the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The government may not “aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another.” Everson v. Board of Education, 330 U.S. 1, 15 , 67 S.Ct. 504, 511 , 91 L.Ed. 711 (1947).”
