religious rights
Protected spiritual liberties
Religious rights are legal protections allowing individuals to hold beliefs, practice worship, and observe religious customs without government interference.
In the United States, these rights derive from the First Amendment's free exercise clause.
Debates arise when religious rights conflict with other interests: The baker claimed religious rights exempted him from serving same-sex weddings.
The term often appears in political discourse around conscience exemptions and antidiscrimination law.
