A major concern of the essay is the problem of achieving an appropriate balance between governmental neutrality toward religion, as required by the non establishment norm, and governmental accommodation of religious practices that would otherwise violate ordinary laws, as required by the free exercise norm. A recurring theme is the complexity of the issues and the variability of possible solutions given differences in the history and culture of democratic societies. - Reproduced Religion, Democracy 25075 Daedalus DEMOCRACY AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 390387 IIPA IIPA 2021-02-23 149(3), Summer 2020: p.25-36 AR124385 2021-02-23 AR
