Is Privatization of the Religion a Nice Thing?

Important characteristic of our society

The important characteristic of our society is that the human life is divided into public and the private together with separation of the values and facts. The people of the West divide the whole world in two groups:

•    Public domain
•    Private domain

Public side arena stands for facts as well as pure, imaginative reason. It is where hard sciences usually reside. It is the field of politics, economics as well as natural sciences. Private side actually is to be held on the side, not with facts or reason, but with opinions, emotions as well as personal preferences. It is the realm of music, art as well as literature. The dualism between the faith as well as fact, value and reason, politics and religion, humanities as well as science is the whole world within which the Western population lives.

Privatization of the religion

The privatization of the religion is mostly because of the State power that pressurizes the religious bodies in order to move out of public square. This is even partly due to the change in understanding religion. Religion was once related to the bonds as well as the duties that would tie the citizens to God as well as to the other people in the community.

Religious freedom defend the ability of the individuals
Privatization of the religion shapes the views regarding the religious freedom or spiritual freedom. What the religious freedom really protects as well as who would enjoy the protection? According to the outlook, the religious freedom would defend the ability of the individuals to sing, pray as well as listen to the religious teachings. It relates to the activities that would take place at special time as well as at special religious-places - what the Christian would do on a Sunday at the sanctuary.

The advantage of the state’s religious liberty

If also the government would fail in order to hold the robust outlook of religion then it would still profit that the government to defend, within the limits, the capacity of the institutions in order to "direct its own laws." The Government could require the institutions to work in the way such that it upholds the public peace as well as respects the law. Such a freedom would be better not just for the institutions as well as for larger government and the society.
