520 |a Secularism is often imagined in Thomas Jefferson's words as 'a wall of separation between Church and State'. This book moves past that standard picture to argue that secularism is a process that reshapes both religion and politics. Borrowing a term from religious traditions, the book goes further to argue that this process should be understood as a process of conversion. Matthew Scherer studies Saint Augustine, John Locke, John Rawls, Henri Bergson and Stanley Cavell to present a more accurate picture of what secularism is, what it does, and how it can be reimagined to be more conducive to genuine democracy 
520 |a Introduction: beyond the separation of church and state: secularism as conversion -- 1. The authorized narrative and crystalline structure of conversion in Augustine's Confessions -- 2. Toleration and conversion in Locke's letters: it is 'above all things necessary to distinguish' -- 3. The crystalline structure of conversion: Henri Bergson's Two Sources -- 4. Saint John (Rawls): the miracle of secular reason -- 5. The wish for a better life: Stanley Cavell's critique of the social contract -- Conclusion: from Supernovas into The Deep: secularism as conversion, a conversion of secularism
