The Supreme Court is reviving the religion debate by agreeing to take on a case involving prayer at government meetings - a controversial topic that challenges the Constitution, zeroing in on where you draw the line between church and state.

And while the decision affects all walks of life, whether you are Catholic, Evangelical or atheist, it also highlights a change in both the political and religious landscape, including a shift in religion of Latinos, who have been historically linked to Catholicism.

The aforementioned case, which was presented to the court on Wednesday, spotlights a small town in upstate New York, where two women, one Jewish and one atheist, sued the town of Greece, arguing "that prayers offered at the start of meetings of the town board amounted to coercion, and government endorsement of a single faith. The prayers were overwhelmingly Christian."

The town argues that the prayers are acceptable under a U.S. Supreme Court decision, which found that the Nebraska Legislature could open its sessions with a prayer from a Presbyterian minister acting as the state-paid chaplain, NBC News reports.

While a resolution has yet to be made, the justices pondered the differences of prayers - from opening a legislative meeting, vs. a court hearing, and whether or not it's possible to craft a prayer that appeals to believers of all faiths - while being inclusive to non-believers. Also, they asked themselves - "is any of this even the court's or the government's business to decide?" Justice Antonin Scalia even proposed the snarky question, "What about devil-worshippers?" which conjured up laughter in the courtroom.

Joking aside, the issue isn't an easy one to tackle, for God's sake.

Organizations on the political right, plus 119 mostly Republican members of the House and Senate asked the court "to adopt a simple, more permissive test - requiring only that the government not force participation in any religion or religious exercise, or create a national religion."

On the other hand, the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed a brief in support of the two women, wanted the court to overturn the 1983 decision allowing prayer to open sessions of the Nebraska Legislature.

"The court should close this constitutional loophole and keep the government out of the religion business," Daniel Mach, director of the ACLU's Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief, said in a statement after the arguments.

While it's a general assumption that most Latinos are predominantly Catholic and wouldn't object to prayer before a town meeting, that may not necessarily the case, given the shift in Latinos' religious preference.

Latinos living in the United States are now increasingly evangelical Protestants or religiously unaffiliated - as the number of Catholics among them declines, according to a national survey conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute.

"While Catholic affiliation has dropped by 16 percentage points (a reported 69 percent Catholic identification among Hispanics during childhood compared to only 53 percent identifying the same as adults today), evangelical Protestant affiliation has increased by six percentage points in the same period to 13 percent today. In the same amount of time, the percentage of religiously unaffiliated Hispanics has also increased by seven percentage points to 12 percent.

And in matters of church and state, some Latinos are taking their beliefs to another level - well beyond prayer.

One of the nation's most prominent Latino religious leaders, Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC), has embarked on a 40-day hunger strike to pressure Congress to act on immigration reform.

Rodriguez spearheads the NHCLC, the nation's largest Christian Hispanic organization, representing more than 40,000 churches. He even went as far to say he'd consider extending the hunger strike beyond 40 days.

"In the spirit of Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and other leaders who have acted on the moral imperative to do justice, as well as our ultimate example found in Jesus, I likewise sense an urgent conviction to engage in the spiritual exercise that in my faith narrative produces great results," said Rodriguez in a press release announcing the hunger strike. "Starting today, I will be engaging in a personal fast and call others to join me as we pray for the vital importance of immigration reform now."

In a less dramatic approach that wouldn't compromise his health, the conservative leader accepted an invitation, along with several other religious leaders, to share his thoughts on comprehensive immigration reform with President Obama last year.

Rodriguez, who gave the benediction at last year's Republican National Convention, has framed the immigration issue as a religious and moral one, Fox News Latino reports. He has encouraged his fellow evangelical pastors to advocate for an overhaul of immigration policies that would tighten border security, expand guest worker visas, and provide a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants, estimated at about 11 million.
