Is Religious Pluralism Good For Society? Many Say Yes. Here's Why They're Wrong.
About this episode
Is religious pluralism a blessing to society, or does false worship harm the commonwealth?
In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird examine the limits of religious pluralism, the difference between denominational diversity and false worship, and why religious neutrality in civil government is impossible. Drawing from Scripture, George Gillespie, Samuel Rutherford, Charles Hodge, and the historic Protestant tradition, they argue that false worship is never morally neutral and that civil government must ultimately be ordered according to God's moral law for the good of society.
Topics include:
Religious pluralism
Christian nationalism
False worship
Church and state
Protestant political theology
Civil magistrates
Religious liberty
George Gillespie
Samuel Rutherford
