Beliefs
adamandeveit.net is not affiliated to any religion or belief system.
We believe the values shared by each of the nine major faiths have universal significance. However, we feel these values will only be properly understood if they are approached in the context of more overtly relevant subjects, such as sport, politics or education. The database of articles on the site reflects this belief.
We believe indifference about religion is a tacit form of prejudice. We encourage informed and balanced opinions about religion that are grounded in mutual respect and understanding. We draw upon the harmful consequences of ignoring the subject of religion, and point to the opportunities that exist from taking positive steps towards unity through diversity.
