As religion has become more visible in public life, with closer
relations of co-operation with government as well as a force in
some political campaigns, its place in public life has become more
contested. Fudged compromises of the past are giving way to a
desire for clear lines and moral principles. This book brings the
disciplines of law, sociology, politics and theology into
conversation with one anther to shed light on the questions thrown
up by 'religion in a liberal state'. It discusses practical
problems in a British context, such as the accommodation of
religious dress, discrimination against sexual minorities and state
support for historic religions; considers legal frameworks of
equality and human rights; and elucidates leading ideas of
neutrality, pluralism, secularism and public reason. Fundamentally,
it asks what it means to be liberal in a world in which religious
diversity is becoming more present and more problematic.
