What three tests does the Supreme Court use to determine if government aid to parochial education is constitutional?

From what I understand, 1971 case Lemon v. Kurtzmanchallenged two state laws, one in Rhode Island and one in Pennsylvania. Before, any State could supplement parochial school teachers' salaries (which were very small), or reimburse religious schools for textbooks and instructional materials (like VCRs during 1970s-80s; movies; projectors and screens, etc.).
The 3-prong test includes that any state law must:
- have a secular purpose;
- the primary effect must "neither advance nor inhibit religion";
- and must not lead to "excessive government".
