Religious exemptions

Religious exemptions are legal allowances that permit individuals or organizations to be excused from complying with certain laws or regulations due to their religious beliefs. For example, a company might not have to follow a law regarding health insurance coverage if it conflicts with its religious principles. These exemptions aim to protect the rights of individuals to practice their faith without facing legal penalties. However, they can also raise debates about balancing religious freedom with public policy and ensuring that exemptions do not lead to discrimination or harm against others.
