This book addresses the challenge of providing for the free
exercise of religion without allowing religious exercise by some
individuals and groups to impinge upon the conscientious
convictions of others. State neutrality toward religion is
impossible, because neutrality means inattention to religion for
some, but leveling the playing field through accommodations or
exemptions for others. Both formal and substantive neutrality have
a place in addressing particular conflicts. One such example is
public funding for religiously affiliated social service programs,
for which neither type of neutrality is satisfactory and thus some
restrictions are justifiable; conversely, private voluntary
organizations that do not receive direct public funding should be
allowed wide latitude regarding their practices. This title also
examines the expansive free exercise claims that are now made by
those who argue that following the law impinges upon their beliefs,
as exemplified by the ministerial exception and the Hobby Lobby and
Masterpiece Cakeshop Supreme Court cases. It concludes by analyzing
the relationship between neutrality and marriage as a civil status,
which impacts a variety of commitment types and plural marriage.
