PLEASE NOTE: For this module, you do not need to answer every question in a question-set; just be sure to give a substantial response to each question-set as a whole.<\/u> (Minimum 250 words for original response as a whole.)<\/p>\n
A) Respond to the broadcast \u201cReligion and the Red, White and Blue 08.\u201d What issues were discussed? Do you agree or disagree with the comments of Bill Moyers\u2019 two guests, Melissa Rogers and Kathleen Hall Jamieson? Explain. Discuss the clips of Huckabee, Romney, and Kennedy in this context. In your opinion, what questions about a candidate\u2019s religious views are appropriate to ask?<\/p>\n
B) The Gaustad text chronicles an historical shift in the relationship of American religious life to the judicial court system in which, \u201cAmerican society was groping for some clear path that would yield a viable relationship between religion and public life.\u201d Summarize this shift in relationship: What was it? When did it happen? What were the causes of this shift? In your assessment, did the completion of this shift occur in the past, or is the shift continuing to take place? Explain.<\/p>\n
C) Our text describes the group known as Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses as \u201chaving done more than any other to enlarge the understanding of what free exercise of conscience really means,\u201d with regard to the Supreme Court\u2019s determination of constitutional protection of religious freedom. What specific issues were introduced to the courts by this group? What was the general early reaction by the Supreme Court to these issues and what reasoning did it employ? What reasoning did the Court employ in its later decision regarding these issues?<\/p>\n
D) The textbook discusses the ways in which Orthodox Jews and Seventh Day Adventists were instrumental in bringing to the Supreme Court issues related to historical \u201cblue laws\u201d restricting Sunday business activities and related matters. What principles determined the Court\u2019s decision on this issue? Are there laws still in place within American society that continue to privilege the beliefs\/customs of certain religious groups over others with regard to activities on Sundays or holidays?<\/p>\n
E) What reasoning and principles were involved in the Supreme Court\u2019s opinion regarding the issue of \u201cconscientious objection\u201d to compulsory military service?

F) According to the Gaustad text, the decision by many Americans to withdraw their children from public schools due to religiously-based concerns is \u201cOne of the most visible results of the Supreme Court\u2019s decisions of the last forty years.\u201d What are some of the controversies related to this issue?<\/p>\n
G) Traditional practices of the Native American Church involving peyote have constituted a pivot-point for controversy over the exercise of religious freedom. What are the issues involved in this controversy? How old is this controversy in the annals of American history? Where does this issue stand today? What seems to be at stake? Is the reasoning involved in these debates fundamentally different from, or similar to, the reasoning involved in other controversies covered in this chapter?
