What Do You Believe?
Almost 80 percent of Americans say they believe in God, with most religions teaching peace, love, and understanding; yet crime, lies, hate, racism, misogyny, discrimination, and violence all seem to be reaching pandemic proportions. Maybe we don't believe what we think we do. There is a disconnect between our actions and what we say we believe, and it's tearing us apart. Society cannot afford for this disconnect to continue. Either we don't know what we truly believe, or we just don't care anymore. I am an optimist and hoping the answer is people don't really know or don't remember what their true beliefs are. What Do You Believe? does not tell people what to believe; it merely asks questions to encourage readers to figure out for themselves what exactly they believe and why they believe it. It then asks readers to consider how their beliefs influence (or not) their actions to help readers bring their actions and beliefs into harmony.
Law, Religion and Love
Increasingly, the modern neo-liberal world marginalises any notion of religion or spirituality, leaving little or no room for the sacred in the public sphere. While this process advances, the conservative and harmful behaviours associated with some religions and their adherents exacerbate this marginalisation by driving out those who remain religious or spiritual. And all of this is seen through the lens of social science, which seems to agree that religion remains important, if not in spiritual sense, at least as a source of folklore and a means of identification: religions remain rooted in the societies from which they emerged, and the legal systems of many of those societies emerged from ...
Dignity in America
How dignity transforms, and resolves, some of the country's most pressing social problems. Dignity represents the inherent and equal worth of each one of us. It is how we think about the value of our lives. It is how we think about justice, and about the injustices that cause people to struggle and suffer. In Dignity in America, Erin Daly explores how we can resolve the social conflicts that divide us as a nation by transforming them under the lens of human dignity. It may apply differently in different cultural settings, but the core meaning of dignity is both intuitive and universal. It stands for a set of interlocking ideas that focus on each person's need to freely develop their full per...
Fundamental Rights, Religion and Human Dignity
This collection examines theoretical and practical issues concerning the relationship between freedom of religion or belief and other fundamental rights, in the context of secular States, from the perspective of human dignity. As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights made clear, human dignity constitutes the foundation of human rights, among which freedom of thought, conscience, and religion occupies a prominent place. As a consequence of the inter-cultural debate that is ongoing in contemporary Western societies, which are increasingly pluralistic, the concept of human dignity faces important challenges in terms of what it requires. The five chapters included in the first part of this b...
Religion and Law in Australia
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this convenient resource provides systematic information on how Australia deals with the role religion plays or can play in society, the legal status of religious communities and institutions, and the legal interaction among religion, culture, education, and media. After a general introduction describing the social and historical background, the book goes on to explain the legal framework in which religion is approached. Coverage proceeds from the principle of religious freedom through the rights and contractual obligations of religious communities; international, transnational, and regional law effects; and the lega...
