The Complex Relationships between Different Beliefs: A Commentary on Van Leeuwen's Religion as Make-Believe
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Although Van Leeuwen’s Religion as Make-Believe: A Theory of Belief, Imagination, and Group Identity contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics of religious beliefs, it raises several questions and invites a deeper discussion in order to better assess the specific features of these beliefs in relation to other belief systems. The limitations observed could help us better understand the complex relationships between different beliefs as they emerge in different social spheres, with their own codes and applications.
