This book explores the Early Modern roots and contemporary relevance of a materialist perspective on the politics of religious diversity. The political philosophies of Spinoza, Locke, and Rawls are explored in three chapters to understand what coexisting religious forms are and why they matter for the idea of justice. The introduction defines religious forms as configurations of sensuous materials, which are indispensable to understanding religious matters in an entangled, pluralist world. However, this book does not exclude religious ideas, beliefs, and linguistic expressions: Religious forms of discourse are part of the analysis. These diverse religious forms—from buildings, images, and food to discourses—manifest in “domains,” which are private and public spaces whose existence depends on how political conceptions of justice are applied.
