I’m looking forward to participating this afternoon in a panel on religious liberty issues in the U.S., part of a webinar on Secularism in France and the United States organized by the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University. Our very first Center event eleven years ago was a conference on laicite at our Paris campus and I’m looking forward to revisiting these issues. Details at the link: https://snfagora.jhu.edu/event/secularism-and-its-discontents/.
Laicite reminds me of the Genocide by the French in the Vendee. Does anybody think Laicite restricts secular proseliyzing? It GREATLY encourages and thus insults all religous belief including a theism that simply says reason says there is a God.
The patrimony of Europe is Christianity and I expect that continued ignorance of that will bring about the destruction of Europe. So be it.
