“…Commenting on this approach of Laborde, Aurelia Bardon and Jeffrey Howard sum up her idea in this way: 'Those who insist that God has sovereignty over a particular domain, and that the liberal state must be constricted accordingly, must be opposed-a difficult position for egalitarians who mistakenly believe they can remain neutral on such questions.' 54 Liberalism, Laborde argues, 'for all its claims to neutrality, cannot dispense with an ethical evaluation of the saliency of different conceptions, beliefs, and commitments.' 55 Some objective normativity, in other words, must be assumed.…”

Secular public policy comes in two basic versions, namely the Anglo-Saxon and the Francophone versions, roughly reflecting the two versions of the Christian religion—the Protestant and the Catholic respectively—which the public body seeks to put to one side. To the extent that these correlations do hold, a theological interrogation is called for. Such interrogation can focus on what is a constitutive element of democracy, and overlooked in both cases of secularity, namely the value of solidarity. But the enactment of solidarity is a secular religious expression, beyond any ‘closed immanence’ that might be thought to characterize the public space. In recognizing this, the Christian churches are ethically bound to move to a major reformulation of their basic doctrines and secular society to rethink its displacement of religion.
