Linda Stephens and Susan Galloway, the two women who challenged the invocation practice of Greece, N.Y., all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court five years ago, have different views about the outcome of their case, Greece v. Galloway.

The Supreme Court's Greece v. Galloway ruling five years ago was a disappointing decision for church-state separation advocates seeking to make public meetings more welcoming and inclusive for people with diverse religious and nonreligious beliefs, but the court didn’t give municipal officials free rein to have evangelizing prayers at public meetings.

Jay Wexler, a professor of law at Boston University School of Law, humorist and novelist, takes readers on a church-state road trip with his book, "Our Non-Christian Nation: How Atheists, Satanists, Pagans, and Others Are Demanding Their Rightful Place in Public Life."
