Religious freedom has become increasingly important across the
global spectrum over the past decades but has remained a contested
concept. This book fills the gap in the scholarship on religious
freedom by focusing on sociological dimensions and research
methods. Chapters in this book present data and case studies from
Italy, Russia, Iran, Israel, South Korea, and the United States,
encompassing a broad geographical scope, and highlight three main
issues. The first is the deep and persistent gap between normative
and actual practices. The detailed analyses bring insights into how
religious freedom is understood and implemented in various contexts
and its meaning in everyday life. The second one is the complex
interplay of various religious and secular actors in each society.
Chapters focus on how it is essential to study how states define
religious freedom and the impact of other actors, such as
nongovernmental organisations, religious institutions, communities,
leaders, and members of various religious/non-religious groups. The
third is the role of rival ideologies and the impact of
extraordinary social events, such as the COVID pandemic, which can
considerably change how religious freedom is conceptualised and
implemented. The book will be a key resource for academics,
researchers, and advanced students of Religion, Sociology,
Comparative Studies, Research Methods and Social Sciences. The
chapters included in this book were originally published as a
special issue of Religion, State and Society.
