In the eyes of many, liberalism requires the aggressive
secularization of social institutions, especially public media and
public schools. The unfortunate result is that many Americans have
become alienated from the liberal tradition because they believe it
threatens their most sacred forms of life. This was not always the
case: in American history, the relation between liberalism and
religion has often been one of mutual respect and support. In
Liberal Politics and Public Faith: Beyond Separation, Kevin Vallier
attempts to reestablish mutual respect by developing a liberal
political theory that avoids the standard liberal hostility to
religious voices in public life. He claims that the dominant form
of academic liberalism, public reason liberalism, is far friendlier
to religious influences in public life than either its proponents
or detractors suppose. The best interpretation of public reason,
convergence liberalism, rejects the much-derided "privatization" of
religious belief, instead viewing religious contributions to
politics as a resource for liberal political institutions. Many
books reject privatization, Liberal Politics and Public Faith:
Beyond Separation is unique in doing so on liberal grounds.
