Charles Taylor, A Secular Age, p. 531:
“…the fate of belief depends much more
than before on powerful intuitions of individuals,
radiating out to others. And these intuitions
will be far from self-evident to others again.
To some, including many believers, this epochal
development will seem like a regression of Christianity.”
But, p. 535: “Knowledge, morality, art,
government and the economy should become
religious, but freely and from inside, not
by compulsion from outside.” (italics mine)
