Abstract

This project represents results from a two-decade study (1970-1990) which evaluates federal circuit courts of appeals decisions in cases involving "religious liberties, " or cases dealing with the free exercise and establishment clauses of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It evaluates whether federal court judges, in their decisions in these cases, overcame their own religious predilections. For the most part, they did, with the exception of Catholic and Baptist judges who were significantly more likely to render pro-religion decisions than other judges.
