- Title
The Long, Messy History of Religious Liberty in America.
- Authors
Hudnut-Beumler, James; Byrd, James P.
- Abstract
This is possible because religious liberty under the Constitution contains both a right to freely exercise religion and a right not to be coerced via the state into accepting someone else's religious practices. At the close of its recent term the Supreme Court ruled on the cases of Carson v. Makin and Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, rekindling controversy over one of the most enduring issues in American history: religious liberty. Even after all the states had abandoned their tax-supported "official" denominations, states continued to police religious and moral conduct.
