Explanation:

The Lemon v. Kurtzman case established the Lemon - test which set standards for determining government violation of the Establishment Clause. The idea of separation of religion and government predated the case. The case did not decide that the government can give equal funding to all religious organizations, nor did it simply state that secular - use of funding means no violation. It set a multi - pronged standard for Establishment Clause violations.
