The First Amendment to the US Constitution states that the national government will not be involved in regulating religion and religious life in the country. This means that there is no official religion in the USA, or a religion whose members enjoy privileges over those of other religions. The government does not give money to religious communities for activities relating to religious worship. However, so-called faith-based initiatives (social and other services provided by religious communities or religious organizations in addition to or in the absence of government-sponsored services of the same) may receive limited financial support from the government.
