Dr Peoples argues that the rules used to exclude such policies are simply not workable or reasonable. He explains that more sensible and fair models of public justification do in fact permit us to promote policies that we hold on the basis of our religious convictions. However, when the architects of these improved models realise that they have now opened the door to religious participation in public life, they change the rules, shifting the goalpost and inventing special exceptions in order to maintain that those with religious convictions should keep them out of the public square.
Dr Peoples graduated with his PhD in philosophy from the University of Otago in 2008 after completing undergrad and graduate degrees in theology. He runs New Zealand’s top Christian podcast, Say Hello to my Little Friend and is a very clear and articulate speaker.
