I write books because I enjoy it.

But writing books today is like making horse shoes.

Kinda neat, but mostly useless.

There are many reasons that murder rates may be high or low.

But clearly, religion is not one of them.

Imagine a small liberal arts college, where students read books and write analytical papers.

It is in your imagination -only - that such a thing exists.

For those who study secularization…

Haven’t taught a class on secularity in a while.
Here’s what I’m thinking for next semester.
