It forbids state and federal governments from setting up churches, from passing laws aiding one or all religions, or from favoring one religion over another. In addition, the establishment clause forbids the government from passing laws requiring attendance at any church or belief in any religious idea
-the Supreme Court has decided several cases about public funding for religious private schools
