Prayer recitations and Bible readings were a common occurrence in schools. However, Catholic adherents were opposed to the state sponsored observation of Protestant practices in public schools and sometimes took legal action against the public school system as was the case in Weiss v.

Many believe that there is a connection between morality and religion, but do ethics truly require a religious or supernatural foundation? The answer to this question is no.
