Democratic citizens around the world appeal to religious arguments, ideals, identities, and institutions in their political activism. And yet predominant theoretical accounts of liberal democracy provide precious little applicable guidance to citizens who must make judgments about religion's proper role in their politics. 'Chains of Persuasion' provides a new moral framework to guide citizens' evaluations of religious politics.

Religious liberties are at the centre of many debates on how liberal democratic societies can accommodate diversity. This book considers the interaction between law and religion from a broad international, comparative and jurisprudential perspective and proposes a new theoretical approach to religious liberty that both transcends and transforms current approaches to religious rights. Not only does the discussion draw on the work of a range of legal and political philosophers including John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin and John Finnis, it also tests the validity of the various proposals against actual 'hard cases' derived from multiple jurisdictions. In so doing, the analysis overcomes longstanding challenges to existing religious rights regimes and identifies a new theoretical paradigm that specifically addresses the challenges associated with religiously pluralist societies. Through this type of interdisciplinary analysis, the book identifies a religio-legal system that both religious and non-religious people can support.

To allow or restrict hate speech is a hotly debated issue in many societies. While the right to freedom of speech is fundamental to liberal democracies, most countries have accepted that hate speech causes significant harm and ought to be regulated. Richard Moon examines the application of hate speech laws when religion is either the source or target of such speech. Moon describes the various legal restrictions on hate speech, religious insult, and blasphemy in Canada, Europe and elsewhere, and uses cases from different jurisdictions to illustrate the particular challenges raised by religious hate speech. The issues addressed are highly topical: speech that attacks religious communities, specifically anti-Muslim rhetoric, and hateful speech that is based on religious doctrine or scripture, such as anti-gay speech. The book draws on a rich understanding of freedom of expression, the harms of hate speech, and the role of religion in public life.

Religious terrorism poses a significant challenge for many countries around the world. Extremists who justify violence in God's name can be found in every religious tradition, and attacks perpetrated by faith-based militants have increased dramatically over the past three decades. Given the reality of religious terrorism today, it would seem counterintuitive that the best weapon against violent religious extremism would be for countries and societies to allow for the free practice of religion; yet this is precisely what this book argues. Weapon of Peace investigates the link between terrorism and the repression of religion, both from a historical perspective and against contemporary developments in the Middle East and elsewhere. Drawing upon a range of different case studies and quantitative data, Saiya makes the case that the suppression and not the expression of religion leads to violence and extremism and that safeguarding religious freedom is both a moral and strategic imperative.

Si le fait religieux est quelquefois présenté comme un moyen de contrainte sur les consciences, il est pourtant source de liberté des consciences morales, selon un paradoxe qui n'est qu'apparent. Telle a été la question complexe étudiée lors du colloque dont le présent volume recueille une sélection de communications. Délibérément attachés à l'étude des sources religieuses de la liberté de conscience, les textes ici réunis constituent autant de contributions à l'étude de la part du fait religieux dans l'émergence de la liberté de et des consciences, c'est-à-dire, aussi bien dans l'acception subjective que dans l'acception objective de cette liberté.Dans une perspective résolument orientée en diachronie longue, l'ouvrage met au jour les questions récurrentes et leur évolution ; les courants religieux favorisant l'individualisme et le contact personnel avec le monde divin ; les médiateurs (prédication, images religieuses, imprimé...); les points d'application dans la société sur les plans religieux et politique ; les discours et modalités énonciatives selon lesquels se développe le for intérieur, de manière à moduler l'affirmation d'une subjectivité spirituelle autonome. Sont ainsi mises au jour des étapes significatives aussi bien de la réflexion sur cette liberté que des manifestations qui contribuent à l'éclairer
