Over the past few decades, America’s religious diversity has rapidly increased, as have the number of individuals who are nonreligious or unaffiliated with any specific denomination. This shift, along with deepening cultural and political divisions, has posed new challenges for defining the relationship between law, religion, and secularism under the Religion Clauses of the First Amendment and beyond.

Please join Symposium Chairs Steven Heyman and Kathleen Brady on February 21, 2025, for the Chicago-Kent Law Review’s Symposium, where leading law-and-religion scholars will explore a range of doctrinal issues – such as free exercise exemptions, government expression and funding, and the meaning of religion under the First Amendment – and discuss how people who hold very different worldviews can live together in contemporary society.

The symposium will be held virtually and attendance is free. Register here.
