What are the boundaries of religion, and what is the constitutional basis for protecting some religious beliefs but not others? What characterizes a religious-studies approach to religion and law today? What is gained by approaching law from the vantage point of religious studies, and what does attention to the law offer back to scholars of religion? Religion, Law, USA considers all these questions and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Each chapter considers a specific keyword in the study of religion and law, such as \"conscience,\" \"establishment,\" \"secularity,\" and \"personhood.\" Contributors consider specific case studies related to each term, and then expand their analyses to discuss broader implications for the practice and study of American religion.
