I commend Shuman Kook for his very informative and well done study on Secularism and Religious Emancipation in Curacao. We need such a study to help us understand the different aspects of secularism and its effect on religions and religious life. The author has kept a balanced approach, avoiding confusion and misunderstanding. It is true that secularism can challenge and marginalize religions. It can become aggressive towards values believers cherish. But in our modern history secularism, when it is in harmony with human rights, has provided a space for religious freedom never known in the past. Every actor in the society has a role to play and the obligation to live together for the good of all. What is the best for religious freedom–a secularized society or a religious one? A secular state or a religious state? Which can better protect the separation of church and state? For me these questions are essential. The author leads us in this important reflection for the good of our society. Dr. John Graz, Secretary-General International Religious Liberty Association
