Jonathan Fox examines the causes of government-based religious discrimination (GRD) against 771 minorities in 183 countries over the course of twenty-five years, while offering possible reasons for why some minorities are discriminated against more than others. Fox illustrates the complexities inherent in the causes of GRD, which can emerge from secular ideologies, religious monopolies, anti-cult policies, security concerns and more. Western democracies tend to discriminate more than Christian-majority countries in the developing world, whether they are democratic or not. While the causes of GRD are ubiquitous, they play out in vastly different ways across world regions and religious traditions. This book serves as a method for better understanding this particular form of discrimination, so that we may have the tools to better combat it and foster compassion across people of different religions and cultures"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Religious discrimination. 650 0 $a Religious minorities $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Religion and state. 650 0 $a Religion and politics. 650 0 $a Ethnic conflict $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Secularism $x Political aspects. 650 7 $a Ethnic conflict $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915949 650 7 $a Religion and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093842 650 7 $a Religion and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093863 650 7 $a Religious discrimination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765052 650 7 $a Secularism $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110734 776 08 $i Online version: $a Fox, Jonathan, 1968- $t Thou shalt have no other gods before me $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781108773171 $w (DLC) 2019042013 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317013815.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EED31E14B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
