Wilkinson (2005) -- Bibliography.Religious Free Exercise and Contemporary American Politics explains why the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) had to undergo a major metamorphosis in order to win approval. The book uses this episode as a window onto the dynamics of modern constitutional politics, specifically the constitutional politics of free exercise. The book argues that, although free exercise of religion remains an important value in American politics, it has been severely buffeted by both liberal individualism and identity politics. The former equates religious "choice" with all other typesChurch propertyLaw and legislationUnited StatesFreedom of religionUnited StatesLand useLaw and legislationUnited StatesPrisonersLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesPrisonersReligious lifeUnited StatesReligion & politicsChurch propertyLaw and legislationFreedom of religionLand useLaw and legislationPrisonersLegal status, laws, etc.PrisonersReligious life342.7308/52Waltman Jerold L.1945-1498064UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910785407103321Religious free exercise and contemporary American politics3723439UNINA
