WRONG.
The government saying religious beliefs BLOCKS people from participating in government UNDERMINES the separation of church and state.
The STATE is barred from isolating religious beliefs. Sotomayor ignores that.

If you take Sotomayor's reasoning to the full extent, every religous based outfit can never participate in the public square fully. If you are atheist, you can.
This was always an obvious violation of the 1st amendment. Sotomayor blew it.

The state cannot bar religious outfits from participating in public programs any more than they can block anyone else.
Sotomayor would make a SPECIAL class of believers (religious) that are excluded.
Religion was never supposed to be separated from the public square.

Government always has the choice to stop spending the money at all.
But as long as they are spending, they can't exclude you ONLY because you believe in a faith system.
