The first decade of the twenty-first century finds the American
people divided along a great, half-century-old fault line. On one
side stand Traditionalists who understand human existence and glory
(joys and sorrows) as defined by a western religious heritage, an
existence circumscribed by tragedy. On the other side stand
Secularists who reject the western tradition and its moral
absolutes (even though they continue to espouse values that arose
out of the West) and look forward to a world of ever-expanding
personal freedom from societal restraints and old human weaknesses,
a world wherein mankind will finally achieve total well-being For
fifty years, Traditionalists and Secularists have been arguing over
religion and their very different understandings of the meaning of
freedom. Does the old religion, the western tradition as manifested
in the United States, sustain and strengthen freedom or does it
circumscribe freedom so much that religion destroys freedom?
