"A Church-State Solution"

Already available online is an article that will appear this coming Sunday (July 3) in the New York Times Magazine. Written by NYU Law Professor Noah Feldman, the article titled A Church-State Solution argues that the clash between "values evangelicals" and "legal secularists" should be resolved by permitting greater latitude for religious speech and symbols in public debate. However, on the other side, there should be a stricter prohibition than now on state financing of religious institutions and activities. Discussion of Feldman's thesis is appearing on SCOTUS blog.
