Conservatives claim America is a “Christian nation” and urge  that laws be structured around religious convictions. Hardcore atheists,  meanwhile, seek to undermine and attack religion at all levels. Surely  there must be a middle ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eHow to Be Secular\u003c\/em\u003e,  Jacques Berlinerblau issues a call to the moderates—those who are tired  of the belligerence on the fringes—that we return to America’s long  tradition of secularism, which seeks to protect both freedom from and  for religion. He looks at the roots of secularism and examines how it  should be bolstered and strengthened so that Americans of all stripes  can live together peacefully. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Jacques Berlinerblau mounts a  careful, judicious, and compelling argument that America needs more  secularists . . .
