In this thesis, the US, Swiss, and Syrian models of religious freedom are illustrated in legal settings. The Analytical Representation comprises more than statements of positive law or mechanical comparison. Each chapter is introduced by thought-forms predominant in the respective legal culture. The objective of the Methodological Representation is to investigate the logic and legitimate pattern by which the US and Swiss judiciary come to the conclusion that an alleged interference is covered under the right to religious freedom. The last dimension, which is the Eclectic Representation, pursues a dual aim. Firstly, the idea is to develop an actual guideline of religious freedom rules, and secondly, to evaluate how much religious freedom is internalized in the US, Swiss, and Syrian legal systems.

A jaded young lawyer starts a church on a lark, to exploit the growing trend of religious exemptions from common-sense laws. He stumbles into backing from a curmudgeonly billionaire and a powerful K Street law firm, leading to success beyond his wildest dreams. His “Secret Plan,” as he calls it, is to self-destruct by carrying the basic concept of religious privilege that he despises to (and well past) a logical extreme. But the self-destruction unfolds in a way he did not envision, as he is sucked steadily deeper into a quagmire of deceit. Luis Granados, author of Damned Good Company, co-editor of A Jefferson Bible for the Twenty-first Century, and “Rules Are for Schmucks” columnist for TheHumanist.com takes us on a wild ride to a place let’s hope we never reach. Footnotes, unusual for a novel, are included to let skeptical readers know how bizarre the world of religious legal privilege has already become.
