There are no absolutes with capital A's. The ground that we walk on is shifting sand and we don't quite know how to walk on shifting sand yet as a species. We are constantly testing what we discover. This is a self-correcting civilization. The emphasis is on the self, an individual.
Western secularization has little to do with community but has to do with the self, the individual.
Embedded inside this umbrella is this enormous spectrum of sub-cultures. Each seems to have a certain privileged reading of reality. Christianity has one reading, Judaism another, for example. They all rub against each other and sometimes there is blood shed. There is a good deal of confrontational tension.
