Religion and politics

By Fred E. Baumann and Fred E.; Jensen Baumann

The current trend for religious leaders and their followers to enter the political arena in the name of religious truth raises the questions that were asked by the founders of the United States. First what kind of acknowledgement and respect can religions, which derive their certainty from divine revelation, give to a liberal democracy which lacks such certainty? Second, what kind of acknowledgement and respect can liberal democracy give to religions and to religon as such? The Kenyon Public Affairs Conference Centre has brought together six specialists to discuss these questions.
