The Rise of Corporate Religious Liberty

The Constitution and various statutes protect the right of individuals to practice their religion. Do institutions also enjoy such protection? If so, which institutions? Only worship communities or for-profit corporations as well? This fascinating collection from an all-star cast of diverse scholars tackles questions dating back at least as far as the Enlightenment, made timely by the latest legal conflicts between egalitarian government programs and new claims of religious liberty. * Michael C.
