Paul Cliteur: Secularism- Is Religion Harmful?
Monday, 11th October 7:00pm
The Chamber, GMB Trinity College Dublin.

Professor Paul Cliteur argues that the Christian scriptures contain passages which justify and encourage violence and terror. Cliteur criticizes many politically correct thinkers who deny that there is anything wrong with religion. A well argued secular outlook is the cure for the problem of religiously inspired and justified terrorism. The secular outlook is the moral and political ideal for the open society to protect itself from the enemy of religious terrorism.

Paul Cliteur is Professor of Jurisprudence at the University of Leiden and has recently published "The Secular Outlook: In Defense of Moral and Political Secularism".
