In questioning secularism and the limits of secularism, I see two possible lines of inquiry: first, the critical assessment of the intellectual and historical secular foundations of anthropology and the evaluation of how this secular foundation of our science has affected our understanding of religion and society. And, second, the exploration of how, in writing and practice, anthropology interacts with the secular or religious states and societies we live in and communicate with: in other words, our positioning as social scientists with political and ethical responsibilities and possibly with a certain amount of bias due to this privileged status.
