| Abstract: | The conference did not, of course, attempt to arrive at a consensus upon neat answers to the questions raised. Any summary would be inadequate, outstanding impressions would include: The violations of freedom of the mind inflicted by religion were frankly faced Narrow and restrictive loyalties other than religious were also charged with violations Complete freedom of the mind was seriously challenged as being humanly impossible Commitment to high religion was commended as not incompatible with human freedom The strengthening of positive religious conviction was urged as the essential foundation of a society in which freedom might endure |
