John Micklethwait on coming to terms with religion in politics

John Micklethwait, Editor-in-Chief of the weekly, ponders the growing role of religion in politics and identifies two groups of people who have struggled to come to terms with it: "The first is politicians, especially practitioners of foreign policy. Realpolitik does not easily cope with the irrational. For instance, religion does not appear in the index of 'Diplomacy', Henry Kissinger's 900-page masterpiece on statesmanship ... . The other group struggling to deal with religion's role in public life are liberals. When religious belief is plainly unreasonable — for instance, when schools teach creationism — it is easy to fight. But in many disputes there are liberal answers on both sides. Those who are embracing religion nowadays are doing so out of choice. Is it liberal to stop a British Airways worker from wearing a crucifix ? Whose rights are being infringed when a majority of people on a Turkish bus ask the driver to stop so they can pray ?"
