In this work, the eminent legal scholar Linda McClain traces the rhetoric of bigotry and conscience across a set of debates relating to both marriage and antidiscrimination law. In the process, she demonstrates the contested nature of the term 'bigotry' along with its complex ties to the concept of conscience. By teasing out the historica dimensions of the arguments surrounding marriage and antidiscrimination law and demonstrating how the motive-content divide structures such debates, McClain makes a novel contribution to our understanding of the relationship between religious liberty and discrimination in American life.
