The line is hardly a bright one, and an organization might understandably be concerned that a judge would not understand its religious tenets and sense of mission. Fear of potential liability might affect the way an organization carried out what it understood to be its religious mission. Non-profit religious corporations assert this burden is difficult to bear, and is magnified greatly by the approach of some courts in treating the constitutional defense to a Title VII suit against a religious organization as a matter for proof on the merits rather than a jurisdictional issue. By expanding Title VII and yet relying solely on Title VII's existing religious organization definition, ENDA could thus lead to a substantial increase in litigation." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/23/steven-h-aden-the-employment-non-discrimination-act/feed/ 0 The weakened state of religious liberty http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/01/12/the-weakened-state-of-religious-liberty/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/01/12/the-weakened-state-of-religious-liberty/#comments Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:30:56 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/wordpress/?p=47991 writes at the The Ethics and Religious Liberty Comission blog: "Our nation will give special emphasis this week to a constitutional protection and timeless right conferred to us by God: religious liberty.
