Many Americans believe that religious folk want to have their cake and eat it, too. People of faith want to be protected from discrimination, but they claim the right to discriminate. They want the state to provide robust legal protection and accommodations, but they also want the state to take a hands-off approach when it comes to how religious institutions operate in society.
What's really going on here? And is the Supreme Court's pro-religion streak actually privileging religion in unhealthy ways?
Interview with Steven K. Green, Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Religion, Law & Democracy, Willamette University.

9: The Supreme Court's lopsided take on religious freedom. Interview with Steven Green

Just Liberty: Where Justice and Liberty Meet

The whole idea of religious freedom in America has taken a PR hit. For some, it’s a cover for bigotry or tool for Christian nationalists; for others it’s the last line of defense in a society that’s becoming hostile to traditional faith.

Is there a better way to think and talk about religious freedom in America that doesn’t buy into political extremes?

Join hosts Alan Reinach, executive director of the Church-State Council, who has been litigating religious liberty cases for nearly 40 years, and Bettina Krause, editor of Liberty Magazine, which has been at the forefront of religious liberty conversations since 1906. Together, they interview experts in law, politics, and faith, and tackle tough religious freedom questions, not just from the courts but also from culture.

Listen to Just Liberty for a fresh, balanced take on religious liberty and church-state issues.
