Against Martyrdom: A Liberal Argument for Accommodation of Religion

Drawing in part on that literature, and in sympathy with the desire to reaffirm the importance of religious freedom and the accommodation of religious groups and practices without opposing or disdaining liberalism or progressivism altogether,18 this Article offers a liberal argument in favor of the legal accommodation of religion, including the accommodation of illiberal religious groups and practices. Although my own work is substantially pluralist in orientation, the argument here is intended to appeal directly to more “rationalist” liberals.
