The right has successfully wielded the idea of sincere religious beliefs as an antisocial legal cudgel. Should the left be using it to further its own ends?

Joe Kennedy rode his “praying football coach” win at the Supreme Court to right-wing fame. He may be the first of many more to come.

A Florida defamation bill shrouds a right for conservative Christians to pursue their anti-social civic agenda under the guise of a free speech protection.

The conservative bloc’s recent religious rulings went much further than merely obliterating the firewall between church and state.

Conservatives are increasingly embracing a version of religious freedom that’s designed to sow unnecessary divisions in society.

As anti-vax plaintiffs seek faith-based exemptions, the judicial system will renew its struggle to determine what beliefs are truly “sincerely held.”
