Religion as a political ideology
On this midweek supporters-exclusive episode of The Politics Guys, Trey Orndorff (Oklahoma Christian University) and Justin Holmes (University of Northern Iowa) continue their deep dive into political ideologies by tackling a unique case: religion. Topics covered include:
- How religion shapes political behavior
- John Rawls and exorcising faith, and can it be, from the public sphere
- An overview of the substantive and functional definitions of religion
- Is religion just an add-on to other ideologies?
- What, if anything, makes the values of religion different from other values?
- Are there true values and how do we exist in a pluralist society if we accept that there are better and worse values?
