Chủ nghĩa tự do tôn giáo

Chủ nghĩa tự do tôn giáo là một quan niệm về tôn giáo (hoặc về một tôn giáo cụ thể) nhấn mạnh quyền tự do cá nhân và nhóm ^[1] và lý tính.^[2] Đó là một thái độ đối với tôn giáo của chính mình (trái ngược với việc chỉ trích tôn giáo từ một vị trí thế tục, và trái ngược với chỉ trích một tôn giáo khác thay vì tôn giáo của chính mình) trái ngược với cách tiếp cận theo chủ nghĩa truyền thống hoặc chính thống, và nó bị phản đối trực tiếp bởi các xu hướng chủ nghĩa chính thống tôn giáo. Nó liên quan đến tự do tôn giáo, là sự dung nạp các tín ngưỡng và thực hành tôn giáo khác nhau, nhưng không phải tất cả những người ủng hộ tự do tôn giáo đều ủng hộ chủ nghĩa tự do tôn giáo, và ngược lại.^[3]

^ Newman 1991: "[...] when people talk about 'religious liberalism,' they are normally referring to a commitment to a certain kind of conception of what religion is and, accordingly, of how religious attitudes, institutions, and communities should be developed or reshaped so as to accommodate and promote particular forms of personal and group freedom."

^ Newman 1991: "However, given the way in which terminology has evolved, we must be careful not to assume too close an association between 'religious liberty' and 'religious liberalism.' Many people who think that religious liberty is basically a good thing that ought to be promoted do not wish to be regarded as advocates of religious liberalism; some of them even feel that many of those who call themselves 'religious liberals' are enemies of religious liberty, or at least end up undermining religious liberty in the process of promoting their own special brand of 'liberal religion.' [...] One notable problem here is that, when liberalism is considered in relation to religion, one may be thinking primarily of a certain 'liberal' conception of religion itself (in contrast with, say, orthodox, conservative, traditionalist, or fundamentalist conceptions) or one may be thinking more of a 'liberal' political view of the value of religious liberty. But, when people talk about 'religious liberalism,' they are usually thinking of the former more than the latter, although they may uncritically assume that the two necessarily accompany one another."
