Topic 1 | Principled pluralism

Principled pluralism is a strategy for living together with our deep differences (religious and otherwise), without requiring anyone to give up their deep convictions. Principled pluralism will not require people to limit manifestations of their convictions any more than is necessary for living together peacefully and to protect the rights and freedoms of others. It provides a more sustainable strategy for addressing diversity of thought and protecting religious freedom than other governance frameworks such as multiculturalism, moralism, or other forms of pluralism, such as laïcité or Judeo-Christian secularism.
