The Agnostic Age: Law, Religion, and the Constitution is a book for lawyers, law professors, law students, lawmakers, as well as any citizen who cares about church-state conflict and about the relationship between religion and liberal democracy. Paul Horwitz argues that the standard approach to church-state controversies has failed because it tries to avoid the pressing question of religious truth - that is, the question of what ultimately is true or untrue about religious belief. This question must be faced head-on. He proposes a new way to do so: through a turn toward an empathetic form of agnosticism. This book offers a bold new solution to age-old questions of church-state conflict and the First Amendment. It also intervenes in the debate between the New Atheists and their religious adversaries, arguing that these polarized extremes have reached an impasse while showing a way out of the stalemate.
