Egalitarianism, Multiculturalism, Multifaithism and R2K

The premise of egalitarianism is that all men and all cultures are equal in value and worth. R2K embraces that premise when it comes to religion for the public square. Now, clearly R2K believes that Christianity is superior when it comes to providing individual salvation, but as it concerns the Christian faith influencing the public square, the Christian faith is not superior to any other faith. In the sense of faith influencing the public square all faiths are equal according to R2K theology and no faith is to be prioritized or favored over other faiths. R2K is egalitarian as it comes to religious influence in the public square. This is so true that R2K could be referenced as “religious public square egalitarianism.”

Actually, this religious public square egalitarianism (R2K) fits right in with the religious agenda of multiculturalism. Multiculturalism really can’t get off the ground unless it comes in tandem with multi-faithism. R2K supports multi-faithism by advocating that the public square should be equally common to all equally valid religious expressions. It is only by the public square being equally common to all equally valid religious expressions that all cultures can then be likewise embraced as being equally valid for a society. Multiculturalism teaches that no culture is superior to another culture and if that is true then it must likewise be true that no faith is superior to another faith, as it relates to the public square. Since culture is only the outward manifestation of an embraced faith multiculturalism (all cultures are equal) necessitate multi-faithism (all faiths are equal in the public square). R2K is a “Christian” theology that readily accommodates multiculturalism because it actively supports multi-faithism for the public square.

R2K then tells leaders of public squares that there is no necessity to Kiss the Son because there is no possibility that they will perish in the way since the Son desires leaders of public squares to throw off His explicit bonds. Egalitarianism, multiculturalism, public square multi-faithism they are the necessary offspring of R2K.
