The book explores the complex interplay between religious conviction and the principles of liberal democracy, highlighting challenges faced by judges and lawmakers. It addresses contentious issues such as the use of peyote in worship, the obligations of pacifists during military drafts, and the legal implications of parental medical decisions. By proposing a new framework, it aims to navigate the competing values of fairness, liberty, and constitutional validity in resolving these critical legal dilemmas.
