What is the separation of church and state? What does it mean for religion, religious organizations and the government? Does it really mean anything for people personally, or is it only a function of large groups? What does it mean to be a separationist, accommodationist, or non-preferentialist? This 12-week course will cover all aspects of church/state separation: what it is, the difference between secular and religious institutions, major court cases and precedents, what sorts of positions exist, and more.
