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 clamor 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? Favoring one religion over others
may appear to be a failure to treat all citizens equally, yet for
citizens in many countries 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.
