Download or read book The Secular Faith Controversy written by Edward Ian Bailey and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 2001 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When God disappears from a secular society, religious beliefs surface in other non-religious sectors of society, e.g. sport as religion. Edward Bailey argues that within and beneath everyday practices of non-religious pursuits lie hidden religious-ethical assumptions that mostly go unnoticed, that is, i.e. implicit rather than explicit. In this volume Bailey sets out what is meant by 'implicit religion, ' and proposes a methodology for studying implicit religion and how it can encourage greater understanding between secular and religious spheres.
