This Very Short Introduction argues that all faith needs reason, putting contemporary discussions into historical perspective, and shows that faith also involves a commitment to action. It matters for all social life, because religion is typically directed at what is seen as of crucial importance for human life.

How far should religious practices be curtailed in pursuit of other social goals, such as equality and the removal of discrimination? This book reasons that religious freedom is one of our most precious freedoms, and essential to democracy, drawing on examples from across the Western world.
