Religious Liberty, Political Freedom, and Democracy
Leaders: Thomas Farr Timothy Shah
About RFP Working Groups
The Religious Freedom Project engaged major new questions not often broached in contemporary debates over the meaning and value of religious freedom. What is the relationship between religious freedom, other fundamental freedoms, and societal flourishing? What economic and political benefits accrue to societies that afford full and free expression to the religious impulses that are deeply embedded in the human experience? Can religious freedom contribute to the consolidation and longevity of democracy, to economic growth and reductions in poverty, or to the equality of women?
To address these questions with empirical data and rigorous scholarship the RFP commissioned some of the most outstanding scholars in America. The scholars comprised two working groups, and together they formed an interdisciplinary research team under Director Thomas Farr and Associate Director Timothy Shah.
