Abstract

This work assesses the relationship between religious liberty and freedom of speech in the United States constitutional context. Using the federal case of Cochran V. City of Atlanta as a Springbroad, the work argues that the recent trend of subsuming religious liberty under a broader freedom of expressive speech risks reducing the protections afforded the right of religious liberty.
