Why the Great Religious Realignment is a Great Secular Opportunity
posted on November 9, 2012At Religion Dispatches, Sarah Posner considers the future role of religion in politics following this year’s election. Posner believes that the election demonstrates that the country is experiencing a “great religious realignment,” a shift towards a greater focus on secularism. Posner writes the the election “results show exactly why Democrats have a huge opportunity to make a counter-argument on religious freedom: that secular government and secular campaigning ensure everyone’s religious freedom, by not giving one religious view … precedence over another.”
