Secularism, Spirituality, and Freedom
This chapter examines the relationship between secularism and spirituality in Western societies, challenging the notion that they are entirely separate. It discusses philosophical critiques of liberalism, particularly its impact on religious communities and identity, as well as legal cases illustrating tensions between personal beliefs and public accommodation. The conversation further explores cultural differences in approaches to religious freedom, highlighting the challenges of balancing free speech with the protection of minority voices.
