Contents

To what extent should states accommodate religious liberty claims? Can the pluralist state be neutral between religions and secularism? This book explores legal controversies regarding the protection of religious liberty from a theoretical and comparative perspective, looking at issues such as family and parenting, education, and employment.

Extensive reference is made throughout the analysis to UK law and the European Convention on Human Rights, also the laws of other jurisdictions such as the US, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, making this a wide-ranging, timely, and thoughtful examination of a perplexing contemporary controversy.
