A recent book by University of Chicago professor of philosophy and law Brian Leiter outlines what I believe will become the theoretical consensus that does away with religious liberty in spirit if not in letter. "There is no principled reason," he writes, "for legal or constitutional regimes to single out religion for protection." . . .

Thus he proposes to replace religious liberty with a plenary "liberty of conscience."

In practice it will lead to diminished freedom, as is always the case with any thoroughgoing libertarianism. — R. R. Reno
