With a one-minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the Point.

Though last month many news outfits took turns taking cheap shots at Coach Joe Kennedy, who recently won at the Supreme Court over the right to pray after a football game, his case has set an important new precedent.

The Lemon Test was a long-standing and often criticized guideline for judging when the free exercise of religion

clause and the Establishment Clause, both in the First Amendment, appear to be in conflict.

Supporters of the Lemon Test saw it as a means to clarify issues, but the practical effect

whenever it was applied was to disallow religious expression in government settings, violating

the original intent of the establishment clause

that religion expression simply not become coercive. As the majority noted, just because

someone feels offended by the sight of prayer, that doesn't mean it's coercive. The lemon

test is gone, thankfully, and religious liberty is better protected because of that.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.
