Humanism and Religion

Abstract

Liberation and freedom in opposition to alienation and bondage has become a pervasive theme in religion, art, literature, philosophy as well as in national and international politics. Liberation is now an equally fascinating theme in christian theology in the context of political struggles taking place in the developing countries. Freedom is the result of liberation and consequently it is something to be realized. It is the sublime perfection man always aspires to reach. In fact, one must know what freedom is in order to begin the task of working towards its realization.
