The religious debates are connected to and sometimes stem in considerable part from underlying political and social trends demographic shifts; rising education; unaccountable and authoritarian governance; stuttering economic and governmental performance; and corruption. They cannot, however, be wholly reduced to those trends. Religion is not an isolated field, but neither is it simply a mask for other struggles; the terms and outcomes of religious debates matter in their own right UR - http://www.atlanticcouncil.org/images/publications/MEST_Religion_web_0921.pdf ER -
