But religious freedom in America is, in fact, impossible. So argues this timely and iconoclastic work by law and religion scholar Winnifred Sullivan. Sullivan uses as the backdrop for the book the trial of Warner vs. Boca Raton, a recent case concerning the laws that protect the free exercise of religion in America. The trial, for which the author served as an expert witness, concerned regulations banning certain memorials from a multiconfessional nondenominational cemetery in Boca Raton, Florida. The book portrays the unsuccessful struggle of Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish families in Boca Raton to preserve the practice of placing such religious artifacts as crosses and stars of David on the graves of the city-owned burial ground. Sullivan demonstrates how, during the course of the proceeding, citizens from all walks of life and religious backgrounds were harassed to define just what their religion is. She argues that their plight points up a shocking truth: religion cannot be coherently defined for the purposes of American law, because everyone has different definitions of what religion is. Indeed, while religious freedom as a political idea was arguably once a force for tolerance, it has now become a force for intolerance, she maintains. A clear-eyed look at the laws created to protect religious freedom, this vigorously argued book offers a new take on a right deemed by many to be necessary for a free democratic society. It will have broad appeal not only for religion scholars, but also for anyone interested in law and the Constitution." -- Publisher's website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Warner, Marina, $d 1946- $v Trials, litigation, etc. 651 0 $a Boca Raton (Fla.) $v Trials, litigation, etc. 650 0 $a Cemeteries $x Law and legislation $z Florida. 650 0 $a Freedom of religion $z United States. 650 7 $a LAW / Constitutional. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LAW / Public. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Cemeteries $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00850532 650 7 $a Freedom of religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934030 651 7 $a Florida. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205150 651 7 $a Florida $z Boca Raton. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205583 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Trial and arbitral proceedings. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Trial and arbitral proceedings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01774319 655 7 $a Trials, litigation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423712 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220301010903.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217030848.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BEB192F4840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
