Religions, Vol. 11, Pages 104: Religion: A Source of Fundamentalism or A Safeguard Against It? Religions doi: 10.3390/rel11030104 Authors: Michał Gierycz This article contributes to critical reflection on the political study approach towards the relations between religion and fundamentalism. In the context of post-secularism, in which the cognitive and moral role of religion for politics is quite widely recognised, the aim is to discuss three hypotheses. The first one argues that, contrary...
