9: The Supreme Court's lopsided take on religious freedom. Interview with Steven Green

Many Americans believe that religious folk want to have their cake and eat it, too. People of faith want to be protected from discrimination, but they claim the right to discriminate. They want the state to provide robust legal protection and accommodations, but they also want the state to take a hands-off approach when it comes to how religious institutions operate in society.

Interview with Steven K. Green, Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Religion, Law & Democracy, Willamette University.
