Don’t leave religion to DEI

Religion should not be the domain of diversity, equity and inclusion departments, because religion is not just an identity like race or gender.

Religion is not just one aspect of our personhood among many others; it’s foundational to how we see the world and act in it. That’s because it makes claims about reality that can be questioned.

Eboo Patel, the founder and president of Interfaith America, a nonprofit whose mission is to “inspire, equip, and connect leaders and institutions to unlock the potential of America’s religious diversity,” according to its website.
