CBC Ideas - Listen to four sharp philosophers discuss secularism

From: Steve

In the car this afternoon I caught part of the following discussion aired on CBC's "Ideas in the Afternoon". Here is a link to the original show about a month ago. So far I have heard lots of intelligent, principled discussion, even when I disagree, about the role of?secularism and?religion in the public sphere, including the role of religion in law, education, and other aspects of public life.

Talking Philosophy: Secularism, Part 1 (Listen)

We live in a Secular Age. Here in Canada, as in other liberal democracies, religion no longer plays a central role in public life. How then are we to think, in a principled way, about a host of issues riddling society today? From creationism to burqas, IDEAS host?Paul Kennedy?and philosophers?Michael Blake,?Simone Chambers,?Mohammad Fadel?and?Arthur Ripstein, tackle religion and the putatively secular state, from a philosophic perspective.
