In an increasingly diverse world, religious diversity is a fact of life. How can democratic societies navigate this diversity and ensure that all citizens feel included and respected? This book explores the complex relationship between religion and democratic citizenship, offering a nuanced understanding of how religious diversity can both challenge and enrich democratic societies.

The book begins by examining the concept of religious diversity. What does it mean to say that a society is religiously diverse? What are the different ways in which religious diversity can manifest itself? The book then explores the challenges that religious diversity can pose to democratic societies. These challenges include the potential for religious conflict, the tension between religious freedom and other rights, and the difficulty of accommodating religious minorities.
