    "Secularism evidently cannot stimulate creativity as profoundly as religion does -- whether in the artist's soaring affirmation or angry resistance."

    That must be it! -- the sad, deflated state of the world explained in a sentence.

    Camille increasingly sounds like the person at the party you just can't get away from, 2 or 3 gin-and-tonics past drunk, announcing as if for the first time little overpracticed chestnuts of cultural wisdom.

    "Secularism...religion...profoundly...soaring...angry..."

    Do her a favor, let her go.
