It doesn’t make sense to blame secularism for world’s ills

The Right&Reason column in The Irish Times last Tuesday was written by David McConnell, honorary president of the Humanist Association of Ireland.

He concludes the piece with this thought:

"The way to dialogue is through mutual respect and understanding.

"A religion will not retain or regain respect in society by blaming all the ills of the world on secularism and humanism (or on other religions) or by claiming that religions have a special right to be heard."
