Why this matters: Faith discussions touch identity, meaning, community, moral responsibility and respect for people with different convictions.
The debate: For spirituality outside organised religion, should people prioritise recognising personal spiritual paths, or valuing accountable religious community?
Join the discussion: Share a real example, explain the conditions behind your view, respond respectfully to another perspective and say what evidence could change your mind.
Respect note: Discuss beliefs without insulting, coercing or dehumanising people of another faith or no faith.
