520 1 $a"The charge is often repeated that it is wrong to use religious arguments in public debate. But is it? In this timely book Brendan Sweetman counters this charge and the various sophisticated arguments that support it. As we witness the clash of religious and secular worldviews he argues that our pluralistic democratic society will be best served when the faith elements of secularism are acknowledged and the rational elements of religious arguments are allowed to inform the momentous debates taking place in the public square. In fact, Sweetman contends that "politics needs religion if it is to be truly democratic, concerned with fairness among worldviews, equality and a vigorous public discussion.""--BOOK JACKET.
