How the SCOTUS Is Reshaping the Limits of Religious Rights in America

Religion is on a winning streak at the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) — and faith-based advocates are pushing to extend it in coming months, hoping to cement a shift in American life that could be one of the current court’s biggest legacies.

The justices are poised to decide in their new term whether a Catholic school that does not accept the children of gay parents can participate in a Colorado pre-kindergarten program. It is likely to hear arguments on whether the Ten Commandments can be posted in public schools. And it may take a case from Amish parents seeking an exemption from New York's vaccine mandate for their school-age children.

Over the past five years, the SCOTUS has ruled in favor of expanding the rights of religious groups in nearly every case that has come before it, according to a data analysis conducted for The Washington Post. Since the 2020 term, the court has sided with those groups in seven of those eight cases.
