Description
Summary:Artiklen behandler sekularismens forestilling om adskil­lelse af religion og politik ud fra én udgave af ‘post-sekularismen’. Først skitseres sekularisme som politisk doktrin i ental. Dernæst problematiseres denne sekularismeopfattelse ved at vise to former for sekularisme som politisk-retoriske strategier i flertal, en republikansk sekularisme og en liberal sekularisme, illustreret med eksempler fra den danske debat om religion og politik, folkekirke og stat. Endelig argumenteres der for at give demokratiet forrang over sekularismen.
This article enters the debate on secularism and post-secularism. It questions the conception of secularism as a political doctrine that advocates a strict separation of religion and politics as institutional arrangement and individual reason with reference to ideals of tolerance, impartiality, neutrality, universality, liberty and equality that constitutes a common and independent ground. Instead of conceiving secularism in the singular as it is common in academic and public discourse, the article emphasises secularisms in the plural by pointing at secularisms as political rhetorical strategies within a field of democratic deliberation, negotiation and contestation. This point is illustrated by what could be called a republican secularism and a liberal secularism at the forefront of the recent Danish debate about religion and politics, the Danish church and the state. The article ends by giving priority to democracy over secularism pointing at how the separation of religion and politics limits the democratic processes and practices by exclusion rather than inclusion. Thus, it defends a perspective of pluralism and democracy beyond secularism.
