Tuesday, June 14, 2016 • 9:00AM – 3:30PM
Cato Institute, 1000 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, D.C.
Today, many feel that religious freedom is under serious—perhaps unprecedented—threat. With everything from health-insurance mandates, to the censoring of high school graduation speeches, to punishing vendors who refuse to work gay weddings, religious liberty seems to be increasingly curbed by powerful and intrusive government.

What should we do when a law or government action, often not intended to inhibit religious exercise, nevertheless does? How much of a connection between church and state is “too much,” such that it infringes on the rights of nonbelievers? How can we maximize harmony between religious and nonreligious Americans?

While these sorts of questions have arisen throughout American history, they may now be more important than ever. In this conference, we will seek to answer them.
