Under the constitutional law of the United States, government is not required to grant conscience-protecting exemptions. However, when it chooses to grant some such exemptions, government may not privilege religious conscience over secular conscience or disfavor secular conscience relative to religious conscience. In short, government may not discriminate against secular conscience. Moreover, under the political morality of human rights—in particular, under the human right to religious and moral freedom—government should not disfavor secular conscience relative to religious conscience. In that sense, and to that extent, the constitutional law of the United States and the political morality of human rights are aligned.
