Mill &#8220;harm principle&#8221;)&nbsp; The high water mark appears to be the <a href=\"http:\/\/scc.lexum.org\/decisia-scc-csc\/scc-csc\/scc-csc\/en\/item\/802\/index.do\">Gruenke<\/a> decision where two justices made a strong case for the benefits religion gives to society, i.e. stability, the assisting of individuals to find their way in life, etc.&nbsp; Since Gruenke, the cases have been fixated with equality rights &#8212; this has led to a diminution of the protection of religion in favour of other &#8220;competing rights&#8221; by use of the \u201cproportional\u201d analysis.&nbsp; My conclusion is that the Canadian law has a void &#8212; it lacks a rationale for the protection of religion. Such a rationale must ultimately be developed to properly address the modern context while appreciating the past.<\/p>\n<p>Mark L. Movesian shared his <a href=\"http:\/\/clrforum.org\/?s=psychic+sophie\">current work<\/a> on the \u201cnones\u201d \u2013 those who claim no religious affiliation and how that affects religious freedom law in the U.S..&nbsp; He made reference to the \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ca4.uscourts.gov\/Opinions\/Published\/112183.P.pdf\">Psychic Sophie<\/a>\u201d case, wherein the court held that \u201cfollowing one\u2019s inner flow\u201d is not religion meriting constitutional protection.&nbsp; Mark&#8217;s presentation was very well organized and clearly presented the confused state of American law on the subject.&nbsp; It would be well for the judiciary to heed Mark&#8217;s work and put order to the jurisprudence.&nbsp; I am of the opinion those who claim no religious affiliation must also have their deeply held beliefs respected in law.<\/p>\n<p>Micah Schwartzman presented his recent thinking on \u201cReligion as a Legal Proxy.\u201d The thought is that while religion may not merit special protection, <a href=\"http:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1992090\">an argument he has written on previously<\/a>, religion could be a proxy for all the goods that do.&nbsp; In other words, \u201creligion\u201d becomes a label of sorts.&nbsp; However, he recognizes that perhaps religion may be so loaded a term that another might be more appropriate such as \u201cconscience.\u201d&nbsp; Micah has a very precise paper that is certainly worth further investigation.&nbsp; Since he has argued religion is not special he is by this concept of &#8220;religion as proxy&#8221; putting into play the idea that religion may still be useful.&nbsp; Personally, I do not see how religion as a proxy can work.&nbsp; First, I disagree with the underlying premise that religion is not special, for reasons that I will continue to explore in this blog; second, to treat religion as a proxy is itself an admission, it seems to me, that religion must have some special character &#8212; for why else would you seek cover under its umbrella?&nbsp; Third, what do we mean by religion?&nbsp; Such a concept is bound to get bogged down in semantics if we were to use it as a proxy.&nbsp; Finally, I think Micah is correct to be leery of the usefulness of religion as a proxy.<\/p>\n<p>The debate continues.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I had the privilege of attending the International Consortium for Law and Religion Studies (ICLARS) conference held on the campus of The College of William and Mary and on the campus of the University of Virginia.
