Secularism is often imagined in Jefferson's words as 'a wall of separation between Church and State'. Scherer argues secularism is a process of conversion that reshapes religion and politics. He presents a picture of what secularism is and how it can be reimagined to be more conducive to genuine democracy.
Secularism is often imagined in Thomas Jefferson's words as 'a wall of separation between Church and State'. This book moves past that standard picture to argue that secularism is a process that reshapes both religion and politics. Borrowing a term from religious traditions, the book goes further to argue that this process should be understood as a process of conversion. Matthew Scherer studies Saint Augustine, John Locke, John Rawls, Henri Bergson and Stanley Cavell to present a more accurate picture of what secularism is, what it does, and how it can be reimagined to be more conducive to genuine democracy.
