FAITH & RELIGIOUS FREEDOMOUR WORLD EDITORAlexandros Koronakiseditor@ourworld.coFAITHFAITH & FREEDOM OF BELIEFOUR WORLDDECEMBER 2019The role of faith in modern societyA publication byNEW EUROPEIllustration title: Divide and decayConcept: Alexandros KoronakisIllustration: Lavrentis HoraitisAmong the many expectations we have of modernsocieties is that they not only accommodatediversity, but guarantee rights and protectionswhen it comes to faith and freedom of belief.Historically faiths have indeed caused divisions andeven suffering – particularly when they have beenperverted by extremists Yet they have also laid thebackbone of our societies through the instilling ofvalue sets, but also strengthening notions such asfamily, happiness, and work ethic, and definingwhat has been used as a moral compass.This illustration shows a society with an evolutionof faiths, both the old and the new, but alsosociety’s growing distancing from belief systems andreligions, and the dangers that such a divide notonly poses, but we are witnessing manifestationsof. A loss of values, a careless existence ofenvironmental deterioration, and the tragedies ofviolence, war, greed, and injustice. This is not to saythat faiths and religious structures, convictions andbeliefs can be leveraged against the diseases in oursocieties as a cure, but that in this day and age, wecannot turn a blind eye to the contributions andthat faiths have to offer.OUR WORLDIn partnership with:NEW EUROPEISSN number: 2593 - 4163Av. de Tervuren/Tervurenlaan 96,1040 Brussels, BelgiumTel. +32 2 5390039Fax +32 2 5390339info@ourworld.coPublished by Brussels News Agency SPRL© 2019 Our World all rights reserved.

FAITH & RELIGIOUS FREEDOMEDITORIALThe freedomto be humanBy Basil A. CoronakisFounder of New Europe.Faith has been the driving force for the humankind sincethe very beginning of its existence. It is intrinsicallyrelated to Religion, which implies freedom of Religioncannot exist without freedom of Faith, and vice-versa.Faith liberates from fear and inspires people to hope.Hope is what gives people the strength to overcome difficulties,from confronting illness to tackling all kinds of calamities.In all of humanities search for what separates humans fromanimals, it is indeed faith that divides humankind from otherliving creatures.Faith is an eternal, standard value of reference in an everturningworld.It is a human need to believe and it is imperative thatcivilized societies secure peoples’ rights in this respect, thusguaranteeing them the ability to hope, which ultimately meansfreedom of religion.OUR WORLD | 20195
