Summary: With the bewildering number of religious and non-religious claims about the world, we have the commendable desire to be free from intolerance and bigotry. Yet unless we know not only what to be free from but what to be free to, we can be left with an openness which is more like paralysis or disorientation than a positive freedom. Ironically, this openness can have its own unique style of bigotry. Do we have the freedom to take world view pluralism seriously?
