In both Europe and North America it can be argued that the
associational and institutional dimensions of the right to freedom
of religion or belief are increasingly coming under pressure. This
book demonstrates why a more classical understanding of the idea of
a liberal democracy can allow for greater respect for the right to
freedom of religion or belief. The book examines the major
direction in which liberal democracy has developed over the last
fifty years and contends that this is not the most legitimate type
of liberal democracy for religiously divided societies. Drawing on
theoretical developments in the field of transnational
constitutionalism, Hans-Martien ten Napel argues that redirecting
the concept and practice of liberal democracy toward the more
classical notion of limited, constitutional government, with a
considerable degree of autonomy for civil society organizations
would allow greater religious pluralism. The book shows how in a
post-secular and multicultural context, modern sources of
constitutionalism and democracy, supplemented by premodern,
transcendental legitimation, continue to provide the best means of
legitimating Western constitutional and political orders.
