and willow, i don’t think that the secular right will ever be a mass movement. rather, the website was conceived to allow those on the right who are tired of the movement being the evangelical party are prayer to have a voice. conservatism will be a movement of most religious people, as is liberalism to be sure. rather, the point is that it doesn’t, and shouldn’t, be a *sectarian religious movement* (which liberalism is not).

Do you consider secular humanism a leftie philosophy, Razib, or is there room for secular conservatives within it as well?
