expositions-133	none	Charles Taylor and the Future of Secularism	2009	9	.pdf	application/pdf	3166	175	60	Taylor is prepared to say only this: where there is only immanence, so that “many people even have trou- ble understanding how a sane person could believe in God,” subse- quent generations will develop “a sense of living in a ‘waste land,’ ” and many young people will begin to explore beyond immanence, perhaps to a state in which they acquire “in some fashion a sense of God.” And the only alternative ontology Taylor acknowl- edges is “belief in some transcendent source or power” that “for many people in our Western culture” means “the choice…whether to believe in God” (600).	cache/expositions-133.pdf	txt/expositions-133.txt
