Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. Americas debates over secularism are not what they seem. Far from being primarily about religion and its place in politics, these battles over ill-defined secularism are now seen as a diversion in an escalating culture war caused by incapacitated government. Governments failure to generate needed policies have made Americans angry and unkind: liberals becoming increasingly condescending while the right becomes more transparently racist. Politicians, unable to legislate, still need voters, and they succeed by swiftly changing issues, which are often coded as religious but are mostly about everyday matters. Kenneth J. Long argues that public failure elicits personal vice. The liberal values of tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion are virtues of the condescending. The belief in science, a tool, is strange at best, and the disdain for the anti-scientific is likewise condescending. For the right, Christian is increasingly popular among those who are growing ever less religious and serves as cover for a racist white identity politics. Problems of Political Secularism: Broken Politics, Unkind Cultures illuminates the troublesome outcomes posed by protecting autonomy through restraint of representative government and by pitting constituency against constituency to safeguard faith from government and vice versa. People of goodwill, faithful and not, are needed to redirect our focus from the symptoms (cultural warfare) to the structural governmental causes. America's secularism debates distract from the deeper problem of a flawed political structure causing gridlock. Public failure evokes personal vice, leading to a cultural war between thinly veiled liberal condescension and right-leaning racism, each latching onto rapidly chang. This item is printed on demand.
