How far should religious practices be curtailed in pursuit of other social goals, such as equality and the removal of discrimination? This book reasons that religious freedom is one of our most precious freedoms, and essential to democracy, drawing on examples from across the Western world.

Exploring the relationship between religious belief and societal tolerance, this book investigates whether the conviction in a religion's truth leads to increased intolerance. It also delves into how the presence and expansion of diverse religions influence political structures and societal dynamics, offering insights into the complexities of religious diversity in contemporary society.
