Religion, Ritual and Spirituality
"The 21st century world that we envisage will clearly not be a universe of secular nations - the more is the pity - but the sentient beings that people can cohabit it only through secular arbitrations. Only this secular order of negotiations - because it is accessible to all - can guarantee and enhance those privileged areas of spiritual intuitions as they impinge upon the rest of us, who are not so privileged and make no pretence of being on a first-name relationship with the Divine Mind.

COLSON, Daniel.- "Belief, anarchism and modernity".
3 April 2009, by psABSTRACT
This essay was originally published in the French-language journal Refractions 14 (Spring 2005 pp. 43-52), which was a special issue on religions , values and identities. It considers the contemporary responses of the French left to the rise of Islam in the west, and notes the danger of opposing Islam by re-activating a French-Republican patriotism. Colson proposes a more subtle approach, arguing that anarchists should adopt a ’neo-monadism’.

Ward, Colin. Fundamentalism
30 May 2004When I was asked by the Anarchist Research Group to talk here today, I resolved to tackle a difficult subject which we tend to ignore because it doesn’t fit our view of the world but which is going to affect us all, anarchists and non-anarchists, increasingly: the rise at the end of the twentieth century of religious fundamentalism.
Among the classical anarchists, the characteristic statement on religion came from the most widely-circulated work of the Russian anarchist Michael Bakunin, God (...) -
Islamic Anarchism
31 May 2003, by psRELIGIOUS ANARCHISM - No 4 - May 2003
The idea of these "Religious Anarchism" bulletins is not to promote religious anarchism or religion in general or particular forms of religion but to show that there are or have been people who on rational grounds consider(ed) themselves both religious and anarchists. It is also not to unite all the anarchists of whatever tendency in a worldwide anarchist sister and brotherhood but to do something against mutual disparaging with its resulting (...)
