Written by secular humanist Andrew Koppelman, this article is one of the more honest evaluations of his own worldview. Koppelman in the article reviews Catholic Charles Taylor's book A Secular Age and agrees with his premise that modern Western secularism has its roots in Christian theology and that secularism's continued commitment to human rights does not logically flow from Atheism. The article continues to note that as a secularist he thinks his own worldview has a faith/hope underpinning, much like the religious views that secularism tends to mock. He notes that the "gap" in religions is the fact that one has to believe that in history amazing actions and events have happened, while the "gap" in secularism is that there is a normative commitment to human rights that does not seem to be able to be accounted for. Koppelman, while he acknowledges that all faiths require a "leap" he continues to argue that secularism has a smaller leap of faith as you don't have to believe in any historical event, just a common commitment to human life void of an overarching system. He says, "Secularists are committed to what one might call "Naked Strong Evaluation": the idea, unsupported by any particular metaphysical claim, that the commitment to decent treatment for all hyman beings is mandatory..." I appreciate Koppelman's honesty in the the article to acknowledge that his own position takes epistemic faith, much like Christianity. I also appreciate that he acknowledges that the idea of human rights did not originate in atheism, but in fact Christian doctrine. I would continue to argue that therefore secularism is borrowing from Christian capital to explain their own existence, however, Koppelman would counter by saying that just because human rights came from Christianity does not make Christianity true. In the end of his article, Koppelman goes to Martin Luther King Jr. and notes that it was his Christian faith that drove him to stand up for justice in the midst of oppression. He then looks at his own worldview and comments that he too can be committed to human rights, albeit with difficulty. A very good read.
