Quote by Arthur J. Goldberg
The concept of neutrality can lead to a brooding and pervasive devotion to the secular and a passive, or even active, hostility to the religious. Such results are not only not compelled by the Constitution, but, it seems to me, are prohibited by it.
Summary
This quote suggests that interpreting neutrality strictly in a secular sense can result in a negative attitude towards religion. It argues that this viewpoint, although not mandated by the Constitution, actually goes against its principles. It implies that true neutrality should discourage any form of hostility, whether passive or active, towards religious beliefs or institutions. In essence, it advocates for a more inclusive and balanced approach that respects both secular and religious perspectives, rather than favoring one over the other.
