Document Summary
Sosc 4350: religion and religious freedom (+ sullivan reading) Quote 1 on the syllabus: distorted image, not every case goes to court, when it goes to court it becomes rigidified, there is a tension between how religion is viewed in court. Quote 2: different ways of defining religion, site of resistance by governments and courts, no fixed definition and there are a lot of contestation surrounding this idea. Exercising religion depends on time and places and it always changing. It is part of our religious freedom because it is how we commemorate the death: but the city says that no this is just a personal preference and not an infringement of your religious freedom. Judge enjoyed speaking about theology in court: however, there should be a separation of church and state, should be kept separate, but the judge is invited to speak about it. Quote 4: true religion private, textual, and belief, false religion public.
