Friday, November 12, 2004Wow!Instapundit linked it, so you've already read the Belmont Club's take on religion and democracy. But be sure to go back and read the comments, especially this equally lengthy essay by commenter Wildiris. She warns it's a start to the thinking, not the final word (he could have subsituted Den Beste's DWL - Don't Write Letters) but it's chockful of interesting stuff to argue for and against. Really, read the whole things, comments included. If you've ever laid awake nights wondering how the Augustinian conception of sin led to republican government or whether the separation of church and state is just another example of Christian morality seeping into secular democracy, this is the post for you!
