freedom of religion does not extend to receiving funding and/or support from the state. The Hasting case was decided correctly seeing how the legal society in question was receiving state support. Furthermore, the college is well within their rights to deny official recognition of any group that they don’t feel is living up to the college values.

If you don’t want to be subject to regulation, don’t relay on state funding or an outside group assistance.

Freedom of religion means the federal government does not evaluate you or your organization with regard to what you or anyone else means by "religion". Strict neutrality means that sometimes the Catholic missionaries are going to get money to educate the Indians.

That's what Jefferson thought of the matter as he wrote the check.
