What’s the problem with symbolic religious establishment? The alienation and symbolic equality accounts

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

In this chapter I examine two possible reasons, which are prominent but
often not systematically discussed in the literature, for thinking even purely
symbolic establishment problematic. These are considerations of alienation
and symbolic equality. I am only concerned with ways in which establishment
might be normatively problematic even if it does not infringe on religious
freedom and does not involve material injustices in other respects.
