Volokh on Religion and "Reasonable" Public Arguments
My friend (and UCLA law professor) Eugene Volokh has two very thoughtful posts (here and here) up about the use of "religious" arguments in the "political" arena, and responding to the (often advanced) argument that only "reasonable" arguments and justifications are legitimate in political debate. Much of what Eugene has to say is, I think, consonant with the line of argument in Michael Perry's recent book, "Under God."
