COMPLEX WORLD OF PHILOSOPHICAL AND NON-RELIGIOUS BELIEFS

Religious pluralism and difference should be embraced. In the ‘Christian fortress Europe’ not simply tolerance but also acceptance should be shown and should be institutionally guaranteed not only for the believers of other (Abrahamic or otherwise) religions but also for those seeking spirituality along other pathways, which may not be those of the prevailing or state or majoritarian religions in the country concerned or in another country outside Europe. These other – often narrow – spiritual pathways should not entail and result in discrimination against those brave enough to follow them and explore the unseen, as long as the common constitutional and political culture of equal freedom for All remains the undisputed framework in which these cults or individual pursuits can exist and develop.
