How far can religion play a part in the public sphere, or should it
be only a private matter? Roger Trigg examines this question in the
context of today's pluralist societies, where many different
beliefs clamour for attention. Should we celebrate diversity, or
are matters of truth at stake? In particular, can we maintain our
love of freedom, while cutting it off from religious roots? In
societies in which there are many conflicting beliefs, the place of
religion is a growing political issue. Should all religions be
equally welcomed in the public square? Favouring one religion over
others may appear to be a failure to treat all citizens equally,
yet for citizens in many countries their Christian heritage is
woven into their way of life. Whether it is the issue of same-sex
marriages, the right of French schoolgirls to wear Islamic
headscarves, or just the public display of Christmas trees, all
societies have to work out a consistent approach to the public
influence of religion.
