For this reason, it is commonly assumed that the state must not privilege religious beliefs over secular ones: to do so, it is feared, would unleash religious intolerance. This assumption is well-grounded in English and European history: for instance, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the right of rulers to choose their subjects' religion was firmly established in England by King Henry VIII and in Europe by the Peace of Westphalia. Even pre-revolutionary American colonies could be differentiated by the religious beliefs of their founders: for instance, the Puritans (Congregationalist Calvinists) settled New England; Puritan dissenters settled Rhode Island; members of the Church of England settled Virginia, the metropolitan counties of New York, the Carolinas, and Georgia; the Quakers settled Pennsylvania and Delaware; and Catholics settled Maryland but lost control in 1689. 1 This history of religious establishment prior to 1776 may lead one to assume that religious beliefs breed intolerance, that tolerance compels the state to adopt a strict separation of church and state, and that the First Amendment requires a strict neutrality between religious belief and unbelief, as held in Everson v. Board of Education of Ewing Township.2 But, as we shall see, these assumptions not only are historically unsound, but also misconstrue the nature of tolerance and its proper relationship with truth and coercion. If so, the state's compelling interest in promoting tolerance requires the Supreme Court to adapt its current interpretation of the First Amendment to permit the state to support the religious belief in God in a noncoercive and evenhanded way.
