What forms of accommodation ought to be extended to religious
institutions? Should churches, firms, charities and schools with a
religious ethos be permitted to discriminate in ways that would
otherwise be illegal? Should they be allowed to opt-out of particular
laws so as to enable them to preserve their distinctive characters? This
article addresses these questions by defending three claims. First,
legal exemptions for religious institutions can potentially be justified
by combining two principles: freedom of association and freedom of
religion. Second, such exemptions potentially leave members vulnerable
to domination. Third, individual non-domination and institutional
autonomy can be reconciled under a regime of joint governance.
