[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1571193, member: 12952"] “The law reestablished a balancing test for courts to apply in religious liberty cases (a standard had been used by the Supreme Court for decades). Religious Freedom Restoration Act allows a person’s free exercise of religion to be ‘substantially burdened’ by a law only if the law furthers a ‘compelling governmental interest’ in the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.’” Indiana is not alone in enacting protective legislation. Thirty-one states [URL='http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/03/01/where-in-the-u-s-are-there-heightened-protections-for-religious-freedom/']already have heightened protection[/URL] for the exercise of religion. Eighteen of those states have laws based in the 1993 RFRA, and the protections in an additional 13 states came through court rulings. University of Virginia law professor [URL='http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/03/01/where-in-the-u-s-are-there-heightened-protections-for-religious-freedom']Douglas Laycock explained[/URL], “There were cases about Amish buggies, hunting moose for native Alaskan funeral rituals, an attempt to take a church building by eminent domain, landmark laws that prohibited churches from modifying their buildings – all sorts of diverse conflicts between religious practice and pervasive regulation.” [URL]http://www.wnd.com/2015/03/indiana-law-has-homosexuals-foaming-at-the-mouth/?cat_orig=politics[/URL] [/QUOTE]
