The
article argues for a reconsideration of secularization, which is frequently
regarded as a necessary condition for a democratic state in the West. Because
of its inherent incoherence and problematic consequences, the term secular
should be abandoned. Deep reasons for objecting to such a proposal are
discussed, including an affront to moral courage, confronting intellectual
apartheid, and analyzing religious abuse. Learning to accept unavoidable levels
of uncertainty is suggested as a way forward, so that generous-minded dialogue
can replace either/or thinking. We must progress to a time when democracy is
truly inclusive, when generous-minded dialogue between deeply felt different
convictions allows for peaceful coexistence.
