===B. The [[Establishment Clause]].===
===B. The [[Establishment Clause]].===
The [[First Amendment]] begins with: “[[Congress]] shall make no [[law]] respecting an establishment of [[religion]] ....” Known as the “[[Establishment Clause]],” this is increasingly used against [[state]] and local [[government]]. In 1962, this clause was the basis for the [[Supreme Court]] to ban [[prayer]] in the [[school]]s (Engel v. Vitale). It is the basis for the recent ban on the phrase “under [[God]]” in the [[Pledge of Allegiance]], and the order to remove [[the Ten Commandments]] plaque from the [[Alabama]] [[Supreme Court]].
