Why I Am Not a Secularist

Why I Am Not a Secularist explores the intersection of religion and politics in America, challenging the belief that the two should never mix. Political theorist William E. Connolly argues that secularism, while aiming for freedom and diversity, often falls short due to its narrow understanding of public reason. Through examining topics such as capital punishment and the War on Drugs, Connolly crafts a new model of public life that encourages collaboration between religious and nonreligious perspectives in politics. A thought-provoking read for those interested in the role of religion in American politics.
