Secularism in Europe Under Attack

Now it's not just Angie anymore. PoMo Academia is also doing its part.

Eurozine has a special topic on 'Post-Secular Europe' (of which I still have to read 2/3rds)

Meanwhile, Lorenzo Zucca on the TransAtlantic Assembly announces a conference he's organising on the topic. Here's a part of the description:

The principal explanation for the lack of a convincing liberal position is reflected in the dogmatic character of the liberal confidence which assumes, instead of articulating a sound justification, that religion, religious symbols and religious opinions are best kept away from our sight.
I'm going to be a dogmatic & confident liberal about this. So more on that, in due time...
