well, it's actually not because while indiana passed the RFRA law, it does have it's differences.



My point isn't that the RFRA in Indiana and the RFRA at the federal level or from other states are purely identical. My post originally stated that other states have RFRAs, and that nothing in the Indiana RFRA is novel. I still believe that to be pretty objectively true, with the caveat I mentioned above (Indiana is the first to incorporate decisions from the Courts of Appeal regarding private suits into the text of the statute).

its not, and that is the problem with the law.

Explains the differences
Outlines the differences, and has supporters/opponents section

I found the defense of it relatively weak. I am not a lawyer, but its pretty clear there are differences.

And I found the defense of this difference to be particularly weak.

The bill appears to allow using exercise of religion as a defense in judicial or administrative proceedings between private parties.


When you result to "religious side always loses" as your defense, you have no defense. Only siths deal in absolutes, and based on the hobby lobby decision this is clearly incorrect.
