Contextual Lecture: Secularism: Politics, Religion and Freedom
With Andrew Copson
Secularism is an increasingly hot topic in public, political, and religious debate across the globe. It is embodied in the conflict between secular republics – from the US to India – and the challenges they face from resurgent religious identity politics; in the challenges faced by religious states like those of the Arab world from insurgent secularists; and in states like China where calls for freedom of belief are challenging a state-imposed non-religious worldview.
Andrew Copson is Chief Executive of the Humanists UK.
