ARE YOU A RECOVERING SECULARIST?
Secularism is not the future; it is yesterday's incorrect vision of the future.--David Brooks
Great article in the Atlantic by David Brooks, who offers a six-step program for recovery -- only half tongue-in-cheek. Link
1. First you have to accept the fact that you (the secularist) are not the norm.
2. Confront your fear.
3. Get angry (at the ignorance around you).
4. Resist the impulse to find a materialistic explanation for everything.
5. Acknowledge that he has been too easy on religion.
6. Understand that this country was never very secular anyway.
