Religious Freedom in Canada

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses religious freedom in Canada through references to S. Nathanson's "decent level". The paper analyzes how Nathanson's theory applies to, or relates to, the exercise or practice of religious freedom in Canada. The paper notes that many of the arguments for equality relate to redistribution of commodities.

From the Paper:

" Nathanson accuses egalitarians of being so diverse in their approach to equality, and with conditional acceptance of some differences and outright recognition that others are inherent, that a truly egalitarian may be impossible to find. Articulating one of the very arguments I intend to build upon, Nathanson questions to what extent compromise is possible with an egalitarian, or for the application of religious compromise, beyond what point is the quicksand of perdition? This particularly engaging dimension to equality might be the rejection of equal distribution as an element of religious freedom."
