The Court and Religion

On Saturday, September 17 at 2:00pm, the Supreme Court Preview will feature a panel on "The Court and Religion." The 2021-22 Term brought significant victories for religious liberty petitioners: a high school football coach disciplined for midfield after-game prayers, a Christian group requesting to fly its flag at city hall when secular flags had been allowed, and families seeking for Maine to pay public tuition grants to religious schools. This panel will address what religious liberty claims are likely to be victorious next Term, including the possible expansion of religious exemptions for wedding vendors in same-sex weddings. The panelists will also explore more broadly what theory the Roberts Court sees for religion and public life under the U.S. Constitution.
