Abstract Political theorists argue that justice requires treating people's time as having equal worth. In this article, I contend that justice sometimes requires making exceptions to uniform time rules. The article focuses on New York State's regulations for nonpublic schools and how they affect Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jewish day schools, or yeshivas. Dissatisfied yeshiva graduates, the state education department, and several liberal political theorists assert that the state should pressure yeshivas to dedicate more time to secular studies. Reconstructing Horace Kallen's argument against the melting pot conception of citizenship and for cultural pluralism, I maintain that liberal states should be generous toward non-liberal ways of life on condition that they do not systematically abuse children or pose a danger to public safety. A liberal education landscape may sustain many kinds of schooling, including ones that outsiders think waste time.

A number of controversial aspects of the relationship between religion and the state are located in public space. Although burqa bans, the Swiss minaret ban, and duties to display crucifixes on public buildings are different in various ways, it is significant that they all take place in this particular type of location. However, when normative political theorists have addressed these issues, they have rarely paid sufficient attention to their spatial location, and, as a result, their analyses are lacking a vital dimension. This article shows what can go wrong when these normative analyses do not refer to an account of public space. It then indicates what part of a suitable account would look like by sketching four of its essential elements, referred to as the definition, distinctiveness, differentiation, and dynamism of public space. It is argued that normative political theorists should draw on aspects of such an account in order to achieve a more sophisticated understanding of issues concerning religion in public spaces, as well as to reach more securely grounded normative conclusions about them.

These points, however, do not take away from the importance of the book, which remains a candid and valuable account of the Brotherhood and how the movement is evolving under the new circumstances of repression and forced exile. This book is certainly a must read for scholars of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, of Islamism and the identity politics of diaspora movements more broadly, due to its focus on exiled members. Because of its clarity in terms of writing, flow, and structure, the book is also easily accessible to students and therefore it lends itself well to be used in graduate and postgraduate courses on political science, sociology, and international relations.

the dignitary harm in being told that following your faith is illegal is also real, and like Koppelman, I think that in much of America today, businesses would lose customers if they chose to post such signs. Gill “accedes to narrow exemptions” if they are limited to “a small number” of providers (185), and Koppelman’s proposed compromise might well make the numbers of shops refusing service less, not more common. Or, admittedly, it might not. The furious militancy of many contemporary American religious traditionalists may prove too incendiary to be cooled by compromises. It may be wiser to pursue policies of Lockean formal neutrality almost exclusively, which was, ironically, the stance of both 19th century American law and the late Justice Antonin Scalia, even though today’s conservative justices berate it as novel liberal imperialism. The issues Emily Gill addresses are genuinely difficult and genuinely urgent, and all who seek answers to them can benefit greatly from her conscientious and insightful reflections.

Recent political science literature notes that the relationship between religion and politics is not a one-way interaction: religion influences political beliefs and political beliefs influence religious practices. Most of these studies, however, have relied on aggregate or indirect methods of assessing individual-level religious decisions of where to attend worship services. This paper utilizes an original, nationally representative survey conducted through YouGov to directly ask about respondents' views on politics in church and how it influences their religious behaviors. We find that many respondents admit church shopping, both inside and outside of their denomination, and that politics influences their choice of congregation to attend. After examining the demographics of those who church shops for political reasons, we conclude by discussing the implications of religiopolitical sorting for tolerance and partisan reinforcement.

After five decades of research, there is still little consensus about the relation of religious variables to environmental attitudes. Even putting aside variations in sampling and measurement, we still have doubts about where modest consensus exists—the role of religious beliefs. Religious beliefs, such as mastery over nature, are more unstable than previously considered. Moreover, more importantly, these studies have generally failed to consider the role of secular beliefs about environmental problems and the interaction they may have with religion. Using data from a 2012 Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) survey, we find religious variables have effects conditional on secular beliefs. Moreover, we draw upon an embedded experiment that shows instability in religious dominionism—the dominant religious effect in previous work. The results suggest previous reports of religious effects are not wrong, but overstated, and eliding secular beliefs is a serious sin of omission.
