Kelly is absolutely right. Botz-Bornstein should read Tom Holland’s book (‘Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World’) to take on this issue in cultural-historical terms. In the terms of Botz-Bornstein’s book, I think this article shows that he does not like Christianity (or Islam) and that he does like secularism. His book (‘How Much Religion is Good for Us?’) lucidly and provocatively suggests that anyone’s adhering to a religion (or cultural ideology) is fundamentally a matter of liking it. The article could hardly be more clear and definite about the personal question it wants not to answer nor even to allow to be raised.
