Vox asks whether religion, not secular liberalism, can save democracy
Original: Maybe secular liberals can’t save democracy https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.vox. com/politics/505675/can-religion-sav
A Vox politics essay argues that secular liberals may be unable on their own to sustain democracy, weighing whether religious traditions could help counter Christian nationalism while preserving pluralism. The piece is drawing attention among commentators debating the role of faith in democratic politics and whether liberal secularism alone offers sufficient answers to rising polarization.
Why now: Ongoing debate about Christian nationalism and the health of democracy in the United States has put the role of religion back at the center of political discussion.
