The Warren Court addressed the separation of church and state primarily through a series of landmark decisions that reinforced the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Notable cases such as Engel v. Vitale (1962), which ruled that school-sponsored prayer was unconstitutional, and Abington School District v. Schempp (1963), which prohibited school-sponsored Bible readings, emphasized the need for a clear boundary between government and religious activities. The Court's rulings aimed to ensure that public institutions remained neutral in religious matters, promoting a pluralistic society free from governmental religious endorsement.
