Free exercise of religion and freedom of speech are
both protected by the First Amendment, but how are they related? Prominent
recent cases such as Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights
Commission and NIFLA v. Becerra raised claims about religiously
motivated speech, and this program will explore the historical, theoretical,
and doctrinal relation between freedom of speech and free exercise of religion.
Among the topics addressed will be the significant doctrinal differences
between constitutional claims for free speech and free exercise, the argument
that free speech and free exercise are in some sense reducible to each other,
the historical development of freedom of speech and religious free exercise in
political theory and American constitutional law, and the current view that
some values (such as anti-discrimination norms or protection against hate
speech) should outweigh rights of free speech or freedom of religion
Business meeting at program conclusion.
