a well-written and approachable discussion of some very difficult questions about freedom of religion and equality before the law ... The author analyses with exemplary clarity the implications of numerous awkward cases and judicial opinions from many quarters. Brian Wicker, The Tablet a carefully reasoned and clearly written book Paul Richardson, Church of England Newspaper Equality, Freedom, and Religion is a gently persuasive argument for greater accommodation of religion, not only of the right to believe things that the majority disapproves of, but also the right to manifest those beliefs outside of religious services. David McIlroy, Adult Theological Education Roger Trigg brings a voice of reason to the analysis of this topic in an honest, measured discussion of how the competing demands of democratic values and commitment to religious freedom must be teased out very carefully. Brendan Sweetman, Philosophical Quarterly
