13. Rorty claims, "In a theocratic country, a leftist political opposition must be prepared to counter the clergy's claim that the nation's identity is defined by its religious tradition. So the left needs a specifically secularist form of moral fervor, one which centers around citizens' respect for one another rather than on the nation's relation to God."
