Practice question
A government publicity stamp highlights a city as host of an international event. Its established purpose is tourism, it compels no religious participation, and any benefit to the event’s denomination is incidental rather than the purpose. Does Aglipay support automatic invalidity solely because religion is associated with the event?
- Yes, any association necessarily establishes religion.
- No; Aglipay requires attention to the legitimate secular purpose and incidental character of the benefit.
- Yes, because tourism can never be a public purpose.
- No, because no government activity can ever violate establishment.
- Yes, because stamps must never depict a city.
