I was having a great conversation with my two new friends the other day at W/N W/N (my new favorite coffee shop) about academia’s condescension of people with faith, or for me, people with Christian faith. Most of the professors in the humanities didn’t have the audacity to just reject faith as a brain-dead explanation for how the world works (like some of the science professors would). But they did have a kind of patronizing way of “equalizing” all of our faiths as cultural expressions that should be included, tolerated, and accepted. The religion of postmodern pluralism dominated the liberal academic landscape of Temple University, it seemed.
