Religion & rationality

Sam Norton flagged up an interesting post by Chris Dillow on the Left, Religion and Rationality. Dillow makes some helpful observations that feed in to the debate about the place of religion in public life (see, for example, the following posts - 1, 2, 3, 4). These include the need for "an institutional framework in order to direct the fallible human mind towards the proper growth of knowledge"; the legitimation of power through appeals to reason; the need for shared presuppositions in reasoned debate; and the inability of reason to answer the question, "What is a good life?"
