That Australia has a rich secular heritage is indisputable, but to draw a sharp distinction between the 'secular' and the 'religious' is anachronistic and misguided, and any attempt to tell the story of Australia's secular heritage must acknowledge that the 'secular' often found its justification flowing from more general religious premises grounded in enlightenment ideals such as rational religion, rational piety, and general Christianity. Indeed, when liberal democracy was emerging in the colonies the 'secular' had to be justified in terms acceptable to the public square and these terms were broadly religious. Robert Lowe is an apt case study for divining the nature of the secular in colonial Australia, for his thought and political activity show the subtle and complex way that ideals such as 'enlightenment,' 'religion,' and 'secular' entered into dialogue rather than warfare with one another and contributed to social institutions judged suitable for a fledgling pluralist nation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Religious History is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
