In a number of recent cases, the Court has shown increasing solicitude for the rights of religious objectors and has upheld claims for exemptions from various laws—even in the absence of an intent by the government to discriminate against religion. This stands in stark contrast to the Court’s approach in cases involving claims of racial discrimination. Despite the harsh light that the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, and other events have cast on the systemic inequalities that persist throughout American society, the Court has remained staunchly unmoved by the law’s disparate impacts on BIPOC communities and has insisted that claimants prove a discriminatory purpose in order to prevail. As a result, religious groups have greater rights to engage in some forms of discrimination than racialized minorities do to combat the effects of discrimination.
