Book Description: In Getting over Equality, Steven D. Smith, one of the most important voices now writing about religious liberty, provocatively contends that we must get over our presumption-mistakenly believed to be rooted in the Constitution-that all religions are equally true and virtuous and 'authentically American.' Smith puts forth an alternative view, that the courts should promote an ideal of tolerance rather than equality and neutrality. Examining such controversial examples as the animal sacrifice case, the peyote case, and the problem of aid to parochial schools, Smith delineates a way for us to tolerate and respect contrary creeds without sacrificing or diluting our own beliefs-and without pretending to believe in a spurious 'equality' among the variety of diverse faiths. |
