This provocative book addresses one of the most enduring puzzles
in political philosophy and constitutional theory--why is religion
singled out for preferential treatment in both law and public
discourse? Why are religious obligations that conflict with the law
accorded special toleration while other obligations of conscience
are not? In "Why Tolerate Religion?," Brian Leiter shows why our
reasons for tolerating religion are not specific to religion but
apply to all claims of conscience, and why a government committed
to liberty of conscience is not required by the principle of
toleration to grant exemptions to laws that promote the general
welfare.
