Christian privilege: Difference between revisions

 

Scholars and jurists debate the exact scope of religious liberty protected by the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]]. It is unclear whether the amendment requires religious minorities to be exempted from neutral laws and whether the Free Exercise Clause requires Congress to exempt religious pacifists from conscription into the military. At a minimum, it prohibits Congress from, in the words of James Madison, compelling "men to worship God in any manner contrary to their conscience".<ref>Dreisbach and Hall, Sacred Rights, p. 427.</ref>
