A religious exemption broadly, is an exemption on religious or conscientious grounds. Of course, an exemption can function in <em>any<\/em> positive legal framework and at any time. . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Religious Exemptions<\/em>, edited by Kevin Vallier and Michael Weber, contains fourteen chapters by authors analysing the concept of a religious exemption in the context of recent accretions in contemporary American positive law. The text explores a variety of issues, including vaccine refusal, commercial accommodations, exemption from equality of the sexes, same-sex marriage and trial proceedings. . . .In modem times, the laws newly introduced incur significant harm to whole sections of the community. A Muslim or Christian objector to same-sex marriage, for example, might never find employment in his field because he is automatically classified as guilty of hate and unlawful discrimination. . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Lang J.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/20502877.2019.1649867\">Book Review: Religious exemptions<\/a>.&nbsp; New Bioethics 2019 Sep; 25(3): 290-292, DOI:10.1080\/20502877.2019.1649867<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacqueline Lang Kevin Vallier and Michael Weber (eds).
