"What are the rights of religious institutions? Should those rights extend to for-profit corporations? Houses of worship have claimed they should be free from anti-discrimination laws in hiring and firing ministers and other employees. Faith-based institutions, including hospitals and universities, have sought exemptions from requirements to provide contraception. Now, in a surprising development, large for-profit corporations have succeeded in asserting rights to religious free exercise. The Rise of Corporate Religious Liberty explores this ""corporate"" turn in law and religion. Drawing on a broad range perspectives, this book examines the idea of ""freedom of the church,"" the rights of for-profit corporations, and the implications of the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby for debates on anti-discrimination law, same-sex marriage, health care, and religious freedom."

Reviews for The Rise of Corporate Religious Liberty

The important questions addressed in this book are deeply challenging and greatly controversial. The range of views defended by the contributors to this volume-contributors who are among this generation's most respected scholars of religious freedom-is impressively broad. Moreover, the depth of discernment evident throughout the book is truly remarkable. Essential reading for anyone who cares about the state of religious freedom in the United States today. -Michael J. Perry, Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Law, Emory University The Constitution and various statutes protect the right of individuals to practice their religion. Do institutions also enjoy such protection? If so, which institutions? Only worship communities or for-profit corporations as well? This fascinating collection from an all-star cast of diverse scholars tackles questions dating back at least as far as the Enlightenment, made timely by the latest legal conflicts between egalitarian government programs and new claims of religious liberty. -Michael C. Dorf, Robert S. Stevens Professor of Law, Cornell University Law School
