Cutter v. Wilkinson : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cutter v. Wilkinson
''Cutter v. Wilkinson'', , was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), facilities that accept federal funds cannot deny prisoners accommodations that are necessary to engage in activities for the practice of their own religious beliefs. RLUIPA prohibited the federal government from imposing a substantial burden on prisoners' freedom of religion. Five residents of an Ohio prison, which included two adherents of Asatru, a minister of the white supremacist Church of Jesus Christ Christian, a Wiccan and a Satanist filed suit.〔Johnson, M. Alex (May 31, 2005). ("Court upholds prisoners' religious rights" ). ''MSNBC''. Retrieved December 21, 2011.〕 The men stated in federal district court that prison officials violated RLUIPA by failing to accommodate the inmates' exercise of their "nonmainstream" religions. Prison officials argued that the act "improperly advanced religion and thus violated the First Amendment's establishment clause which prohibited government from making laws "respecting an establishment of religion." The district court rejected that argument and ruled for the inmates. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision. ==Question Before the Court== Did prohibiting the federal government from burdening prisoners' religious exercise violate the First Amendment's establishment clause?
