520 |a In this essay I explore the question of why people in secular societies should honor the claims of religious identities. I argue that the due recognition that is granted to religious identities should be founded on the value of equal respect for persons. Additionally, I argue that there are good reasons to regard religious identities as special – in a way that is congruent with equal respect for persons – such that they are deserving of special moral and legal consideration. But I affirm that views that are not traditionally religious can also make special claims insofar as they resemble the paradigm cases of religious identities and thus are at least "quasi-religious." I then apply my account of the claims of religious identities to two key issues in secular democratic societies with regard to these claims: (1) the issue of religious accommodations; and (2) the issue of free speech and whether we should limit offensive or blasphemous speech (morally if not legally).
