Religion and Human Rights,2510-4314 ;63-030-58390-2 Introduction -- Freedom of Religion -- Religious Forms of Government -- A Test of Reasonable Religion.This book argues that contemporary Christianity is in crisis because freedom of religion is concealed and under pressure by secularization and migration. A drastic change is necessary - in the Catholic Church at first - from a God-given hierarchical structure to a democratic religion that rests on human dignity and human rights.The text conveys that such a change -that should happen from within- will put an end to challenges such as in Catholicism where outside human rights are promoted, but from inside a different story is told. Cultural change in religion is also covered with the move from centuries-old dictates to the reasonable justification of freedom of experiences, symbols, rituals and inter-religious intercourse as well as the cross communication between believers and non-believers alike. This approach makes religion an as yet unfinished religion. The text appeals to researchers and academics working in human rights and religion.Religion and Human Rights,2510-4314 ;6TheologyReligion and sociologyReligionPhilosophyChristian TheologySociology of ReligionPhilosophy of ReligionTheology.Religion and sociology.ReligionPhilosophy.Christian Theology.Sociology of Religion.Philosophy of Religion.282.09045Ven J.
