While this is pretty dense for me, right now, I have a feeling it's pretty light for philosophy. That's not a criticism, just a description. Even for being dense, it's pretty readable, and I appreciate the author's use of italics to emphasize key phrases - it's used well, but not over used. I am not surprised that the author ultimately decides there isn't a principled reason to privilege matters of religious conviction over other claims of conscience - that was pretty much what I assumed going in. It is nice to have an actual argument laid out, even if I don't currently feel capable of criticizing the argument itself. :)

I didn't finish reading this, but it's not what I expected, therefore not what I'd like to read. I think I know where it's going and I'm just not that interested.

I read this book for class and found it to be the better book of the two focusing on religions role in the public square. It was sometimes challenging to understand and some of the writing was unnecessarily difficult, but overall a good message.
