- W2794946194 abstract "Definitions, by their nature, include and exclude. When one defines what is, it inevitably excludes what is not. Legal definitions furthermore could be used as “a form of control in determining the range of potential beneficiaries who may claim an entitlement.” This article critiques the use of definitional tests in religious freedom adjudication. It examines the use of a definition of religion to deny constitutional protection to religious beliefs and practices that fall outside that definition, as well as a jurisprudential innovation of the definitional test, which is the essential or integral practice test that has been employed by some courts in Asia. I argue that definitional tests have to take into account the religiously pluralistic conditions in which the constitution operates, and under those conditions, a deferential approach that relies primarily on the self-definition of the religious claimant is to be preferred. Such an approach would caution the courts from imposing any objective assessment that essentially denies the individual’s religious truth. There may be concerns that this would open the door to strategic exploitation by individuals to claim special treatment or exemptions from general laws by advancing a religious basis for their objections. However, I argue that such concerns can be addressed by limiting the deferential approach with a subsequent legal enquiry on whether the restrictions on religious belief or practice are constitutionally legitimate, outweigh the right to freedom of religion, or are proportionate. Ultimately, such an approach would give due regard to the status of religious freedom as a fundamental right, while mitigating some of the difficulties that arise when secular courts become embroiled in religious questions." @default.
