Grab a seat and pour a hot cup of tea- we are tackling a "taboo" subject-religion- but from a specific point of view. We will explore just a few ways in which deeply held personal religious beliefs from one or more individuals can serve to alienate, exclude, or even harm others in surprising ways.
Be it a religious display in schools and government buildings to which company holidays are provided, the conversation around religion's place in our lives has moved from personal to public policy. It is time to acknowledge what occurs on a regular, daily basis from this unique point of view.
Religion is personal. Faith is a choice. However, certain beliefs may prevent women from promotion, access to information, and even exclusion from advancement. Religions should not serve in an obscene game of rock-paper-scissors to determine which one wins in policy over people.
Should we hold a follow-up episode with guests to speak on this topic at a deeper level? Let us know!
