Good luck! I look forward to reading (or watching, when it's posted) as to how it went.
"Does Christianity or Secular Humanism Provide a Better Basis for Civil Society?"
Let's see.
Christianity demonstrably not only provided a basis for civil society for centuries, but literally civilized it in large part to begin with.
Secularism meanwhile has a viciously bloody history, and secular humanism is either connected to that history, or has an ephemeral at best implementation history.
David,
Have you seen Stark's book "America's Blessings?" I'm not giving it an unqualified endorsement, but there is a lot of interesting stuff in it you might find useful.
Looks interesting. So little time, so many stats.
David,
Just to load more on you: if you have a chance you might look at the book "More God, Less Crime," by Byron Johnson.
