How Do Politics Inform Religious Freedom? | An Expert Explains

About this episode

Throughout history, wars have been fought for the sake of religious liberty. So how have political systems expanded religious freedoms, and is it only done to benefit those in power? Anthony Gill, a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington, sits down to share his thoughts on this intriguing subject.

Professor Gill has dedicated much of his career to the research of political economy and religion & politics. Narrowing his focus on church-state relations, religious liberty, and religious economies, he is on a mission to flush out how the expansion of religious liberty occurred – and what gave rise to it. This resulted in him writing Political Origins of Religious Liberty, a representation of this research all in one place…

In this episode, we cover the following:

  • The conditions that are necessary for there to be religious liberty.
  • Why the U.S. put religious freedom into its constitution.
  • What led Professor Gill to pursue the economic study of religion.
