Towards A New Lens Of Analysis: The History And Future Of Religious Exemptions To Child Neglect Statutes, Gregory Engle
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
In order to analyze the religious exemptions, this paper will begin with their history.

The Equal Protection critique follows as Part III, followed by Part IV that discusses the traditional critique, grounded in the Establishment Clause. In Part V, the article will finish with an explanation of why the Equal Protection critique is a much stronger criticism.
