Böcker av Emily R. Gill

This book addresses the challenge of providing for the free exercise of religion without allowing religious exercise by some individuals and groups to impinge upon the conscientious convictions of others.

This title reexamines the liberal tradition to reconcile its core commitments to autonomy and diversity, values that in theory are complementary but in practice are often at odds, and to show that the interaction of these values determines how we as individuals become free.

Using the religion clause of the First Amendment as a foundation, the author contends that, just as US law and policy ensure that citizens may express religious beliefs as they see fit, it should also ensure that citizens may marry as they see fit.
