Our Constitution does not require the government to punish any religious person for living out their faith. The government already recognizes religious exemptions for employees who cannot work on the Sabbath, doctors and nurses who cannot participate in religiously objectionable procedures, and faith groups that choose to hire only individuals who share their beliefs. Followed to their conclusion, Pennsylvania’s arguments would threaten the longstanding, long-accepted tradition of religious exemptions to federal laws that protect religious minorities and allow diverse beliefs to flourish in our society.
