Book Description:
This book attempts to articulate the nature of a secular society, describe its benefits, and suggests the conditions under which such a society could emerge. To become secular, argues Fenn, is to open oneself and one's society to a wide range of possibilities, some interesting and exciting, some burdensome and dreadful. While some sociologists have argued that a 'Civil Religion' is necessary to hold together our newly 'religionless' society, Fenn urges that there is nothing to fear and everything to gain from living in a society that is not bound together by sacred memories and beliefs, or by sacred institutions and practices.
