Preferred term

religious discrimination  

Definition(s)

  • Religious organizations seeking to exercise the First Amendment rights of free exercise and association have sometimes taken actions contrary to or seemingly at odds with state and federal laws against discrimination. The courts at times have prohibited particular practices by these groups, but at others have allowed religious organizations to discriminate on the basis of religion or religious beliefs.
