Abstract

"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion”, reads the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But how did we get here? Freedom of religion – or of no religion – is grounded on liberty of conscience, an idea with a back-story most of us are unaware of. In recovering this story, historian Sarah Irving-Stonebraker takes us all the way back to the ancient Middle East, and on a whirlwind tour through Europe, the Americas, and Australia, and asks: does the notion of religious liberty still have currency today?
