Abstract:
In post-modern secular societies like Sri Lanka, the relevance of religious
traditions is increasingly questioned. As secularism shapes public policy and
social norms, many wonder if faith traditions still have a meaningful role in
influencing collective values and ethics. Sri Lanka, known for its rich religious
diversity - Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity - has long integrated
these traditions into its socio-cultural framework. Despite the rise of
secularism, these faith traditions continue to provide moral guidance and
spiritual reflection, countering the materialism and individualism often
associated with secularization.
