We are more polarized than ever, and religious fault lines are one expression of our division. Consider this: the Global Religious Landscape Survey conducted by Pew Research found that a staggering 84% (5.8 billion people) of the world’s population is religiously affiliated. Despite the prominence of religion as a source of individuals’ moral and ethical decision-making frameworks, it is viewed by many as a “conversation-stopper” and often subsequently omitted from the American public square. This leads us to ask: How does religion contribute to what James Madison called “factionalism?” And what does this mean for our collective efforts to work toward the Common Good? How can we have a moral – and therefore just – society if we do not admit religion to the public square? What habits (or virtues) can we all practice, regardless of religious affiliation, to cultivate a flourishing society?
