The No-Nonsense Guide to Religion by Symon Hill
Religion is a term which is often used in the media and public life without any clarification. However, it is a word that encompasses hundreds of different beliefs. It is also a loaded word that has a different meaning for each person. Religion can be seen as a source of war and peace, love and hate, dialogue and narrow-mindedness. Today, thanks to the globalisation of communications, more people than ever before belong to a different religious community than their parents. This No-Nonsense Guide considers how religion has shaped culture.
Symon Hill has been an activist since his teens. He has campaigned on issues including the arms trade, religious liberty, same-sex marriage, disability rights and economic injustice. He has worked with NGOs including the Campaign Against Arms Trade, People & Planet and the Fellowship of Reconciliation and was a founding member of Christianity Uncut. He has trained hundreds of grassroots activists in campaigning skills and media engagement. In February 2012, he was dragged by police from the steps of St Paul's Cathedral during the eviction of Occupy London Stock Exchange. He is associate director of the Ekklesia thinktank and an associate tutor at the Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre. He writes regularly for the Guardian, Morning Star, The Friend and Third Way. His first book was the No-Nonsense Guide to Religion.
