Answer 2

The correct answers are: 1)B and D. The Lemon Test requires that the inancial aid must have a proper secular purpose, not advantaging any particular religion. The financial aid cannot be then given to enhance anything strictly religion-related (literature, religious icons). 2)D The other choices are incorrect, because Holt was a Muslim (A), it wasn't the government but the prison itself preventing Holt from practicing his religion (B), the prison had a compelling interest in stopping possible contraband but didn't have enough evidence to prove it (C). 3)B The other choices would require insitutional approval, while attending church is a personal choice which won't harm others' rights or liberties.
