520 Balancing respect for religious conviction and the values
of liberal democracy is a daunting challenge for judges
and lawmakers, particularly when religious groups seek
exemption from laws that govern others. Should members of
religious sects be able to use peyote in worship? Should
pacifists be forced to take part in military service when
there is a draft, and should this depend on whether they
are religious? How can the law address the refusal of
parents to provide medical care to their children--or the
refusal of doctors to perform abortions? Religion and the
Constitution presents a new framework for addressing these
and other controversial questions that involve competing
demands of fairness, liberty, and constitutional validity.
In the first of two major volumes on the intersection of
constitutional and religious issues in the United States,
Kent Greenawalt focuses on one of the Constitution's main
clauses concerning religion: the Free Exercise Clause.
Beginning with a brief account of the clause's origin and
a short history of the Supreme Court's leading decisions
about freedom of religion, he devotes a chapter to each of
the main controversies encountered by judges and
lawmakers. Sensitive to each case's context in judging
whether special treatment of religious claims is justified,
Greenawalt argues that the state's treatment of religion
cannot be reduced to a single formula.
520 Calling throughout for religion to be taken more seriously
as a force for meaning in peopleʼs lives, Religion and the
Constitution aims to accommodate the maximum expression of
religious conviction that is consistent with a commitment
to fairness and the public welfare. Includes information
