Americans have long disputed whether the government may support religious instruction as part of an elementary education. Since Everson v.

This Article explores the relationship between conscience and religion in history, political theory, and theology, and proposes a conception of conscience that supports a liberty of conscience distinct from religious liberty.

Conscience is best understood, for purposes of legal theory, …
