Religious Freedom and Tolerance in a Global Age

Religious Freedom and
Tolerance in a Global Age
Contrary to Nietzsche’s declaration, God does not
appear to be dead. Right around the world, religious
and humanist world views are influencing national
and international processes. The issues surrounding
freedom of religion and belief and freedom of
conscience are emerging in new international,
national and local contexts.
Monday, 4 May 2015
