The United States is extremely diverse religiously and, not
infrequently, individuals sincerely contend that they are unable to
act in accord with law as a matter of conscience. The First
Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the free
exercise of religion and the United States Supreme Court has issued
many decisions exploring the depth and breadth of those
protections. This book addresses the Court's free exercise
jurisprudence, discussing what counts as religion and the
protections that have been afforded to a variety of religious
practices. Regrettably, the Court has not offered a principled and
consistent account of which religious practices are protected or
even how to decide whether a particular practice is protected,
which has resulted in similar cases being treated dissimilarly.
Further, the Court's free exercise jurisprudence has been used to
provide guidance in interpreting federal statutory protections,
which is making matters even more chaotic. This book attempts to
clarify what the Court has said in the hopes that it will
contribute to the development of a more consistent and principled
jurisprudence that respects the rights of the religious and the
non-religious.

statutes, short notes (emphasizing the variations among state
laws), problems, and a review of multiple perspectives that have
