WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court reduced the wall of separation
between church and state Monday in one of the most important rulings on
religious rights in decades.
The decision could doom provisions in 39
states that prohibit spending tax dollars to support churches. The
states defended the limits as necessary to keep the government from
meddling in religious affairs.
Monday's ruling said Missouri was wrong to
exclude Trinity Lutheran Church in Columbia, Missouri from a program
intended to help non-profits cover their gravel playgrounds with a
rubber surface made from recycled tires. The church wanted to improve
the playground at its preschool and daycare center.
