“You have to be closer to religious origins -- the generation of the 20's was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.” LittlesStillsReligiousAcceptingGenerationsHonestyStrategyTheologyTendenciesManageVarietyPostsMultipleSecularInventingReligious ExperienceDuplicity Author:Ann Douglas
