- Double-weighted statement
- The book (7 chapters, 223 pages) builds on 10 years of research, including the author’s PhD, and argues, in a way that has been described as ground-breaking, that religion is indeed special and that it should be singled out by the laws of a liberal state – but for negative or less favourable treatment. In terms of methodology, the book integrates various disciplines and offers a more comprehensive approach to this issue. For the first time, the argument for the need to not tolerate religion, is being established by putting together philosophical arguments, legal research, psychological research, and empirical findings.
