Religious liberalism (also called liberal theology or liberal religion) is a broad approach to religion that emphasizes the authority of individual reason and experience over tradition, dogma, or scripture interpreted literally. Rather than treating inherited doctrines as fixed and binding, religious liberals seek to reinterpret their traditions in light of modern knowledge, including the findings of the natural sciences, historical criticism, and moral philosophy.
