Many of us take for granted the idea that the right to religious
freedom should be protected in a free, democratic polity. However,
this book challenges whether the protection and privilege of
religious belief and identity should be prioritized over any other
right. By studying the effects of constitutional promises of
religious freedom and establishment clauses, Frank B. Cross sets
the stage for a set of empirical questions that examines the
consequences of such protections. Although the case for broader
protection is often made as a theoretical matter, constitutions
generally protect freedom of religion. Allowing people full choice
in holding religious beliefs or freedom of conscience is central to
their autonomy. Freedom of religion is thus potentially a very
valuable aspect of society, at least so long as it respects the
freedom of individuals to be irreligious. This book tests these
associations and finds that constitutions provide national
religious protection, especially when the legal system is more
sophisticated.
