===Religious "belief" and religious "faith"===
In an interview, Soroush said that "True believers must embrace the faith of their own free will - not because it was imposed, or inherited, or part of the dominant local culture. To become a believer under pressure or coercion isn't true belief'",<ref>Wright, Robin, ''Dreams and Shadows: The Future of the Middle East'', Penguin Press, 2008, p.268</ref> and that the believer "must&nbsp;... remain free to leave his faith."<ref>[http://www.drsoroush.com/English/On_DrSoroush/E-CMO-19960400-1.html Islam and Liberal Democracy.

At Oxford, Soroush was heavily influenced by Iranian philosopher [[Komeil Sadeghi]], to whom he has dedicated one of his books ''Expansion of Prophetic Experience''.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}}
