This book examines the countervailing arguments in the religious
exemption debate and explains why this issue continues to be so
heated and controversial in modern-day America. Can religion be
used to legalize discrimination? When does religion exclude a
person or corporation from having to follow a federal or state law,
and does our government automatically favor one faith over another
when allowing such exemptions? How "religious" must an activity be
to qualify as exempt? These are just a few of the difficult
questions addressed in When Religious and Secular Interests
Collide: Faith, Law, and the Religious Exemption Debate, one of the
most modern resources for looking at religion and the law, both
historically and in the present. This book enables readers to fully
comprehend this important multifaceted issue that continues to be
contested in our courts, legislatures, hearts, and minds. Readers
will gain vital historical background about this battleground topic
of academic and public interest, see how the contentious issue has
changed in the past, and learn about recent developments, including
the controversies surrounding religious exemption laws passed in
Arkansas and Indiana in 2015. They will also glean knowledge to
evaluate claims made about the First Amendment and equal rights and
reach their own educated opinions on the subject. Additionally, the
work includes primary source documents such as excerpts of
important Supreme Court decisions accompanied by insightful
analysis of how the religious exemption issue surfaced in modern
American culture.
