“…2 In the following sections, I bracket the question of how religious communities justify their appeal to traditional religious commitments, practices, practical wisdom, or moral insights (e.g., based on revelation or religious authority). The different ways in which religious and secular communities justify their appeals to tradition are addressed in Section 6, in which I will also refer to the brief debate between Bardon (2020) and Laborde (2020) on this topic. 3 The ability to solve problems can be considered a practical value, but the specific contribution of religious traditions to problem-solving remains epistemic.…”

“…A possible objection to such an account could be that the mere evaluation of appeals to tradition in terms of their soundness and the factual accuracy of their premises would be unable to identify harmful appeals to tradition, such as the argument that same‐sex couples should not be allowed to marry because traditionally marriage has been defined as the union of a man and a woman (Bardon, 2020, pp. 24−27).…”

“…These philosophers defend the position that if certain conditions are met, traditions can, to some extent, be valuable. More recently, Bardon (2020) and Laborde (2020) have engaged in a more specific discussion on the value of religious traditions in public deliberation.…”

In recent years, we can speak of an anti-liberal appropriation of the concepts of religion, tradition, and religious tradition. The label of religious tradition has been used to divide and mobilize voters. With the support of the Russian Orthodox Church, Russian president Vladimir Putin has presented himself as the defender of traditional values against the liberal West (Agadjanian, 2017). In Poland, religious groups have criticized the liberal European project in the name of the Catholic tradition (Szumigalska, 2015). This raises the question of whether and how religious traditions can be addressed in liberal democratic states.In political philosophy and political theory, religion has often been reconstructed with a focus on beliefs (Asad, 2012). According to this notion of religion, belief has primacy over ritual, which has led to a neglect of religion as an embodied way of life that is manifested in individual behavior, in social practices, and in institutions (Mahmood, 2009). This emphasis on the role of religious beliefs has also led to a neglect of the role of religious traditions. Only few authors have argued that appeals to religious traditions can advance a discussion (Asad, 2009; MacIntyre, 1984;Scruton, 1984). During the last years, however, a group of philosophers has begun to re-evaluate the justificatory role

Kevin Vallier has recently argued that the ideals of public justification and public deliberation should be separated. The link between the two, Vallier suggests, has been assumed without being properly defended. Once examined, the connection falls apart. In this paper, I argue that there is, in fact, a clear and convincing story available for why the two ideals should be treated as mutually reinforcing. Drawing on recent empirical evidence, I argue that the deliberative behaviour of citizens can have a clear and positive impact on the behaviour and policy choices of public officials.
