The U.S. Supreme Court is upending the foundational definition of religious freedom and redefining it as religious privilege.

One can’t help but wonder if the Supreme Court majority is not being deliberately obtuse here as it desperately grasps at any rationale to favor religion.

“The ultra-conservative majority of the U.S. Supreme Court continues to redefine the constitutional promise of religious freedom for all as religious privilege for a select few. By once again undermining science-based public health orders meant to limit the spread of a deadly virus, the court is prioritizing the religious practices of a few over the health and safety of entire communities," said AU CEO Rachel Laser.
