There are LOTS of Supreme Court cases lately that make decisions about religious freedoms. Where is the line between freedom to practice religion and religion's ability to impose its practices on others? How can we tell if we are protecting our own freedom to practice our religion or asking the government to sanction imposing our religious beliefs and practices on others around us? Eric and Joel push and pull on each other to find the line.
