Sumario:Even though the crisis of secularism was declared decades ago, it remains unresolved. This book argues that its roots are internal to the liberal model of secularism, which emerged from the religious dynamics of the Protestant Reformation.

Consequently, liberal secularism often harms local forms of coexistence rather than nourishing them.
