At The Atlantic, Linda K. Wertheimer commemorates the 50th anniversary of Supreme Court case Abington v. Schempp, which banned Bible reading in public schools, by interviewing Ellery Schempp, who as a 16-year-old helped bring the landmark case to the courts. She writes, “Today, Ellery Schempp is a 72-year-old retired physicist from suburban Boston. … he is a Unitarian who also refers to himself as an atheist and secular humanist.”
