Abstract

The idea of religious liberty was, for a long time, uncontroversial common ground between right and left. The idea of a private sphere that government must respect—an idea at the core of the gay rights movement—has its roots in dissenting Protestantism. It became the basis for the practice of religious exemptions from generally applicable laws. As recently as 1993, Congress almost unanimously enacted a federal statute codifying that practice. That law continues to produce results that liberals admire, protecting prisoners from arbitrary treatment and religious minorities, notably Muslims, from discrimination. If you want to protect the right to be different, this is a good place to start.

自由主义者曾经热爱宗教自由
在很长一段时间里,宗教自由的观念是右翼和左翼之间无可争议的共同基础。政府必须尊重私人领域的理念——这是同性恋权利运动的核心理念——根植于反对的新教。它成为普遍适用法律的宗教豁免实践的基础。就在1993年,国会几乎一致通过了一项联邦法规,将这种做法编入法典。这项法律继续产生令自由主义者钦佩的结果,保护囚犯不受任意对待,保护宗教少数群体(尤其是穆斯林)不受歧视。如果你想保护与众不同的权利,这是一个很好的起点。
