Religious Freedom In A Brave New World: How Leaders In Faith-Based Schools Can Follow Their Beliefs In Hiring, Charles J. Russo Jun 2014

Religious Freedom In A Brave New World: How Leaders In Faith-Based Schools Can Follow Their Beliefs In Hiring, Charles J. Russo

Educational Leadership Faculty Publications

A confluence of litigation at the Supreme Court raises important, yet potentially conflicting, questions about the freedom of employers in religious schools1 to hire teachers and staff members. On the one hand, in Hosanna-Tabor v. Equal Employment Opportunities Commission,2 a unanimous Court reasoned that the ministerial exception granted religious leaders alone the authority to choose who is qualified to teach in their schools. On the other hand, the Court’s rulings on same sex-unions seem to be ushering in a brave new world. For example, in United States v. Windsor,3 the Court struck down the Defense …

The Political Function Of Revelation: Lessons From The Hebrew Bible, Geoffrey P. Miller May 2014

The Political Function Of Revelation: Lessons From The Hebrew Bible, Geoffrey P. Miller

Touro Law Review

This article examines the political theory of revelation in the narratives of the Hebrew Bible, particularly the theophany at Sinai. Revelation occurs when God communicates information to human beings. The biblical narratives use the modality of a revelation to signal the importance of the message being conveyed. They also identify techniques for limiting revelation’s destabilizing potential: embedding, which restricts God’s ability to change his mind; authentication, which tests the validity of revelations; and access rules which privilege political elites as recipients of God’s word.

Intragroup Discourse On Intragroup Protections In Muslim-Majority Countries, Asma T. Uddin Apr 2014

Intragroup Discourse On Intragroup Protections In Muslim-Majority Countries, Asma T. Uddin

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Many Muslim-majority countries do not provide adequate protection for dissent of any sorts—religious, social, or political. In the realm of religious dissent, these countries persecute not just non-Muslims, but in fact, the persecution is harshest and most frequent against Muslim dissenters. This paper explores how protection for intragroup dissent in these countries is the first and most crucial step in protecting dissent more broadly and lays out both the current state of affairs and several avenues for reform.


The European Court Of Human Rights And Intragroup Religious Diversity: A Critical Review, Lourdes Peroni Apr 2014

The European Court Of Human Rights And Intragroup Religious Diversity: A Critical Review, Lourdes Peroni

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Article examines the ways in which one of the most established human rights courts—the European Court of Human Rights—encourages or discourages intragroup religious diversity when dealing with religious freedom claims. In particular, it critically assesses the Court’s attentiveness to internal group diversity by scrutinizing the objective filters that the Court employs to determine whether certain practices “count” as a manifestation of claimants’ religion for legal purposes. The Article argues that, at times, these filters are based on assumptions about religion and religious groups that impede recognition of more lived experiences of religion and internal group diversity. The Article further …


Complicity And Collection: Religious Freedom And Tax, Jennifer Carr Apr 2014

Complicity And Collection: Religious Freedom And Tax, Jennifer Carr

Scholarly Works

This Article focuses on how the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Bill might be improved so that members of Congress enact it. The bill would allow war tax resisters who qualify as pacifists to direct their tax money to a separate fund not to be used for military spending. At present, the IRS is expending time and resources trying to track down tax resisters, which results in loss of revenue for the government. This Article argues that passage of an amended version of the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Bill would eliminate the tension between the IRS and war tax …


Is Religious Freedom Irrational?, Michael Stokes Paulsen Apr 2014

Is Religious Freedom Irrational?, Michael Stokes Paulsen

Michigan Law Review

Brian Leiter is almost exactly half right. There is no convincing secular-liberal argument for religious liberty, in the sense of unique accommodation of religious beliefs and practices specifically because they are religious. Indeed, from a thoroughgoing secularist perspective — from a stance of committed disbelief in the possible reality of God or religious truth, and perhaps also from the perspective of unswerving agnosticism — “toleration” of religion is almost intolerably foolish. Affirmatively protecting the free exercise of religion, in the strong sense of freedom of persons and groups to act on religious convictions in ways opposed to secular legal norms, …


Are Catholic Bishops Seeking A Religious Preference Or Religious Freedom?, Ivan E. Bodensteiner Mar 2014

Are Catholic Bishops Seeking A Religious Preference Or Religious Freedom?, Ivan E. Bodensteiner

Marquette Law Review

Using the Catholic Bishops’ litigation strategy in challenging the Affordable Care Act as an example, this Article suggests that the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the First Amendment religion clauses has emboldened religious organizations to seek preferred treatment, i.e., “to become a law unto [themselves].” The religion clauses have a common goal, religious freedom, but they are often in tension and require a delicate balance. Beginning with the Rehnquist Court, and continuing with the Roberts Court, the interpretation of the religion clauses, in combination with the free speech clause, has eliminated the wall of separation between religion and government. The wall …
