In this article the author clarifies his epistemological approach to democracy based on its two crucial principles namely autonomy and dialogue. He has demonstrated that distinguished scholars of this approach deny the integration of religion and democracy and believe in the impossibility of religious democracy. Given this theory, the author has criticized humanological and epistemological foundations of this theory and by criticizing its governing principles he has demonstrated that contrary to this theory, it is quite feasible to integrate religion and democracy even with western definitions and viewpoints.
