Coexistence: (also) a question of religion?
€ 3.00We live in a society that places increasing emphasis on pluralism: of cultural and religious lifestyles. In this kind of world, religions can also play a fundamental role in respect to the secular world and to civil society. Indeed, they can act as a reference to a form of identity (often, above and beyond forms of belief and personal convictions) in society and politics, or they can become a tool to generate cultural conflicts, or, the reverse, to help resolve these clashes.
A sociologist of religion and migration offers us a very contemporary reflection in an attempt to define the characteristics and the new contours that a truly plural society should have. He will follow a few lines of in-depth thought and the fundamental facts to understand the role of religious pluralism and religions, particularly the relationship with European Islamism.
