The book argues that there is in the US, Canada and UK, a general
right to conscientious exemption available to a person who objects
to any legal obligation whatsoever on the basis of a religious or
non-religious conscientious belief. The book provides a liberal
defence of this right and argues that it should be considered a
defining feature of a liberal democracy. A general right to
conscientious exemption is a legal right to conscientiously object
to any obligation imposed by law and to receive from a court an
exemption from complying with such obligation. The general right
defended in the book is not an absolute right. A court may refuse
to grant an exemption if doing so would disproportionately impact
the rights of others or the public interest. The book suggests how
the general right should be balanced against important rights, such
as non-discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
