In this episode, we delve into the concept of a post-secular society, describing contemporary Western nations where religion maintains public influence despite ongoing secularization. We explore the ideas of Jürgen Habermas, Charles Taylor, and William Connolly, who critique traditional secularism and challenge the notion of removing religion from the public sphere. They argue that the reality of pluralism—the coexistence of diverse worldviews—fundamentally alters the challenges for state neutrality and necessitates rethinking the public sphere.
