Offers insight into the complex relationship between religion and
law in contemporary America Why religion? Why law? Why now? In
recent years, the United States has witnessed a number of
high-profile court cases involving religion, forcing Americans to
grapple with questions regarding the relationship between religion
and law. This volume maps the contemporary interplay of religion
and law within the study of American religions. What rights are
protected by the Constitution’s free exercise clause? What are
the boundaries of religion, and what is the constitutional basis
for protecting some religious beliefs but not others? What
characterizes a religious-studies approach to religion and law
today? What is gained by approaching law from the vantage point of
religious studies, and what does attention to the law offer back to
scholars of religion? Religion, Law, USA considers all these
questions and more. Each chapter considers a specific keyword in
the study of religion and law, such as “conscience,”
“establishment,” “secularity,” and “personhood.”
Contributors consider specific case studies related to each term,
and then expand their analyses to discuss broader implications for
the practice and study of American religion. Incorporating pieces
from leading voices in the field, this book is an indispensable
addition to the scholarship on religion and law in America.
