The Lemon Test is a test to decide church-state cases. It originates from the Supreme Court case Lemon v. Kurtzman (1971) and is used to evaluate whether a law or governmental action violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment by assessing whether it has a secular purpose, whether its primary effect advances or inhibits religion, and whether it fosters an excessive government entanglement with religion.
