Master Metaphors and Double-Coding in

    the Encounters of Religion and State







                           PERRY DANE*




                                   I.

                                   A.

  The  First Amendment contains two religion clauses.' But, broadly
speaking, it generates three sets of questions.2 The first concerns the sorts
of church-state questions typically understood as raising establishment of
religion concerns. The  second  concerns the individual rights questions
typically analyzed under the rubric of free exercise of religion.3 And the
third-which   has no clause devoted to it as such, but which in some ways
is older and  more  deeply  rooted  than the  other two-concerns the
institutional autonomy of churches and religious communities.4

v. Wolf: Church Autonomy and the Religion Clauses of the First Amendment, 128 U. PA.
L. REV. 1291, 1297 (1980) (arguing that religious institutional autonomy is a product of
the interaction of the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses); Ira C. Lupu & Robert
Tuttle, Gianella Lecture: The Distinctive Place of Religious Entities in Our Constitutional
Order, 47 VILL. L. REV. 37, 50 (2002) (suggesting that an adequate account of religious entities
in our constitutional scheme must be in at least some senses clause-transcendent).
