Abstract
Presented at American Political Science Association
The Religious Right as well as the Secular Left have construed of the debate as a binary opposition between being religious or being atheistic. When secularist Sam Harris announces that religion is an irrational myth that leads people to violence, he poses an unbridgeable gap between the religious and non-religious point of view (12, 223). Disturbingly, the rhetoric surrounding the culture war has led to the impression that one must choose between being religious and secular. This paper argue that the idea of secularism contains no such binary opposition between the atheistic and religious points of view.
