Vociferous aggressive secularists for WAR
In the summer, the publication of Amartya Sen’s book, Identity and Violence, was greeted with delight by many reviewers and commentators…He was promptly adopted by the lobby of vociferous aggressive secularists who regard all faith in the public sphere as evidence of some sinister plot.
No, actually, that’s not what we regard all ‘faith’ in the public sphere as, we regard it as an inherently dangerous influence on politics, law, human rights and other such public influences that shape how we all get to live our lives. Get it right, Madders.
Ah, but religion in the public sphere is a sinister (or even a dextral) polt.
To allow the self-selected, unelected religious leadres into pwer, wher they have been gradually driven out over the years.
We don’t want them, or their obscurantist ideas back, thank you very much.
