Religious freedom in Australian public life

This book brings together two complementary approaches to religious freedom in Australia. Frank Brennan and Michael Casey draw on the Catholic tradition to examine its importance within a secular liberal democracy, while Greg Craven considers the legal protections in place and reforms the contributors argue are needed for the future. The combination connects a philosophical account of religious liberty with questions about how it is safeguarded in law. Its scope is specifically Australian, with attention to the relationship between religious belief, democratic life and legal protection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in religious freedom and its place in secular democracies
  • Those seeking discussion of Australian law and discrimination protections
  • Readers exploring Catholic perspectives on public and civic life

Book overview

The place of religion in Australia has never been more contested than it is today. In this new and timely essay, Frank Brennan and Michael Casey draw on the Catholic tradition to explain why freedom of religion remains of vital importance for the way of life enjoyed in a secular liberal democracy such as Australia. Greg Craven complements Brennan and Casey's philosophical analysis with an essay discussing how freedom of religion is currently protected in Australia, and what reforms are necessary in order to ensure its protection in the decades ahead.
