Doris Parra Salas, « Considerations regarding tolerance and freedom of religious beliefs in Colombia since the political constitution of 1991 », HAL-SHS : philosophie, ID : 10.21017/rev.repub.2023.v35.a155
This article analyzes some of the transformations of the notion of freedom ofreligious convictions derived from the new approach on the matter that thePolitical Constitution of 1991 brought to Colombian society.An analysis was carried out between the Political Constitution of 1886 and thatof 1991, showing how the principle of religious tolerance was introduced inColombia. This principle also means respect for those agnostic and/or atheistpeople, who prefer to believe in the use of human reason to decide for themselvesabout their life principles.This text presents three religious events that occurred in France before the Revolution,that is, before the development of the ideas of the French Enlightenment, as examplesof how dangerous religious authoritarianism can be.These facts are presented to make us realize the importance of respect for individualfreedoms, and above all the importance of using human reason to freeoneself from the blindfolds that beliefs impose, and even more so when thosebeliefs become fanaticism.
