Religion, Politics and the Transatlantic Divide Laying the Ground for an Intercultural Dialogue
This conference is devoted to understanding how the religiosity of American society vis-Ã -vis Western European societies exacerbates the tension between the United States and Europe. It also aims to find common ground through shared reflection on the historic, religious roots of Europe and America and, by doing so, reawaken a sense of the distinctiveness of the West in the encounter with other cultures.
