Abstract
ABSTRACT:
This essay explores a more inclusive and equitable interpretation of "religion" within the context of religious vaccine exemptions. The existing literature critiques the prevalent interpretation of the meaning of religion in religious exemption cases, but frequently overlooks the importance of incorporating the concept of "lived religion." This essay introduces the concept of lived religion from religious studies, elucidates why this lived religion approach is crucial for redefining "religion," and illustrates its application in the domain of religious vaccine exemptions. The author contends that broadening the meaning of religion by employing the concept of lived religion would promote a more inclusive and equitable implementation of religious vaccine exemptions.
ABSTRACT:This essay explore a more inclusive and equitable interpretation of "religion" within the context of religious vaccine exemption.现有文献批评了宗教豁免案例中对宗教含义的普遍解释，但往往忽略了纳入 "生活宗教 "概念的重要性。本文介绍了宗教研究中的 "活生生的宗教 "概念，阐明了为什么这种活生生的宗教方法对于重新定义 "宗教 "至关重要，并说明了其在宗教疫苗豁免领域的应用。作者认为，通过采用 "活生生的宗教 "这一概念来拓宽宗教的含义，将促进更加包容和公平地实施宗教疫苗豁免。
