"Is religion special?" Michael W. McConnell

"Religion has been unique from the beginning of our constitutional experiment. But in a world swirling with competing ideologies and secular analogs, why does it remain so today?

Religion is an institution, a worldview, a set of personal loyalties and a locus of community, an aspect of identity and a connection to the transcendent. Other parts of human life may serve one or more of these functions, but none other serves them all."
