Intended Meaning
This atom records a description of religion in “Shahrur’s contemporary conception” as being based on voluntariness and choice. At the level of the attested text, it does not add a definition of voluntariness or choice.
Available Evidence
The witness states: “Religion in Shahrur’s contemporary conception is based on voluntariness and choice.”
Limits of the Wording
The phrase “is not based on coercion,” the description of religiosity as an act undertaken “out of conviction,” and the description of choice as “free” are interpretive expansions that do not appear verbatim in the available witness. They should therefore not be treated as a quotation from Shahrur or as a directly documented claim until a broader primary text or a specific passage is available.
