Federal judge clears use of religion in care for veterans
U S District Judge John Shabaz ruled the VA may use religion in veteran care without viol ating church state separation. He dismissed a suit by Freedom From Religion Foundation, stating practices are legal when voluntary and potentially healing. The decision marks the first time a judge upheld the constitutionality of the VA’s religious approaches in treating millions of veterans and avoids a trial.

VA Spiritual Assessments Challenge Dismissed Appeals Planned
Atheist group leader Annie Laurie Gaylor said the VA ruling will be appealed noting veterans face required spiritual assessments for eye referrals and questions about faith. The suit claimed VA programs mix religion with care though officials say participation remains voluntary and serves secular goals.
