Law and Religion - LAWS532

This unit explores key areas where law and various religious traditions intersect. A major theme in the unit relates to constitutional law principles concerning separation of church and state, and free exercise of religious belief and the issues surrounding multicultural accommodation of religions in Australia.

In the context of these religions the course examines religion and war, religion and the environment, animal welfare, terrorism, issues surrounding sexuality, and religion and capitalism.
