The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment forms the basis
for the separation of church and state: "Congress shall make no
law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof.” Yet, throughout American history, this
principle hasn’t stopped Americans from using religious
differences to draw boundaries around who is and isn’t American.
Joanne digs into the BackStory archives to bring you a selection
of segments that look at religious identity in America and how
faiths, cultures and rituals adapted to American life.
