Instead of a 'Western Christianity,' we now witness a post-Christian West (in Europe) and a post-Western Christianity (in the global South). America is somewhere in between.

Somewhere deep down we know that in the final analysis, we do decide things and that even our decisions to let someone else decide are really our decisions, however pusillanimous.

Not to decide is to decide.

Sermons remain one of the last forms of public discourse where it is culturally forbidden to talk back.

Secular Humanism is opposed to other religions; it actively rejects, excludes, and attempts to eliminate traditional theism from meaningful participation in the American culture.

I am dead against trying to keep religious conservatives out of the political debate. The tactic of exclusion is self-defeating.
