The Religion Clauses: The Case for Separating Church and State (Inalienable Rights)

Discover the timely and insightful book, The Religion Clauses: The Case for Separating Church and State, written by constitutional scholars, Erwin Chemerinsky and Howard Gillman. With the state of First Amendment law concerning religion expected to change dramatically, this book provides a comprehensive exploration of the proper relationship between the state and religion throughout American history.

The authors delve into how the freedom of religion is enshrined in the First Amendment through two provisions, offering a robust view on both clauses. Their perspective aligns with Thomas Jefferson's idea of creating a wall that separates church and state, making a compelling case for why the establishment clause should be strictly secular. They argue against special exemptions for religious individuals from neutral and general laws that apply to all citizens.

In today's religiously diverse society, it is crucial to adopt a fair and informed approach that aligns with the intentions of the founders who drafted the Constitution. The Religion Clauses not only serves as a concise primer on the meaning of the religion clauses, but also highlights the misinterpretation of these clauses by the Court in recent years. It advocates for a separationist approach that best addresses the needs of our religiously pluralistic society in the 21st century.
