A Brief History of Secularism This book presents an alternative view of secularism, arguing that secular thought is so heavily dependent on Christian assumptions that liberal morality and modern Western ethics can only be understood as a Christian legacy. It refutes the view of scholars who declare the end of Christianity, and argues that secularism does not represent the end of Christianity, nor does it signify the atheism of the West; rather, it should be seen as the most recent expression of Christianity, and as Christian ethics divorced from its doctrine.
