Partly Accultured Religious Activity: A Case For Accommodating Religious Nonprofits, Thomas C. Berg Jun 2016

Partly Accultured Religious Activity: A Case For Accommodating Religious Nonprofits, Thomas C. Berg

Notre Dame Law Review

This Article argues that we should make real efforts to protect religious freedom for partly acculturated religious activities and organizations. We should not reject their claims broadly or per se and thereby exclude them from the efforts at accommodation that other groups receive. The law should not force all religious organizations and activities into one of the two polar categories, acculturated or unacculturated. Part II of this Article presents several reasons why there is a strong interest in protecting the freedom to engage in partly acculturated religious activity.


Against Martyrdom: A Liberal Argument For Accommodation Of Religion, Paul Horwitz Jun 2016

Against Martyrdom: A Liberal Argument For Accommodation Of Religion, Paul Horwitz

Notre Dame Law Review

Drawing in part on that literature, and in sympathy with the desire to reaffirm the importance of religious freedom and the accommodation of religious groups and practices without opposing or disdaining liberalism or progressivism altogether,18 this Article offers a liberal argument in favor of the legal accommodation of religion, including the accommodation of illiberal religious groups and practices. Although my own work is substantially pluralist in orientation, the argument here is intended to appeal directly to more “rationalist” liberals.
