Religious people nowadays should more frequently express publicly their respect for those who do not believe in God," [Michael Novak] insists. "The reverse is also to be desired.
Novak quotes [Jurgen Habermas]: "Universalistic egalitarianism, from which sprung the ideals of freedom and a collective life in solidarity, the autonomous conduct of life and emancipation, the individual morality of conscience, human rights and democracy, is the direct legacy of the Judaic ethic of justice and the Christian ethic of love."
Both believers and non-believers could benefit from Novak's distinction between "secular" and "secularism."

Jozef Cardinal Glemp, the primate of Poland, was quoted by Italian news agency ANSA as saying [John Paul II] was monitored on orders from Moscow by clergymen who collaborated with feared security forces who kept tabs on Poles' lives under the Communists.
John Paul was "spied on, and how," Glemp said on the sidelines of an interfaith meeting in Assisi in quotes confirmed by the conference's organizers. "In the Vatican there were spies. Moscow had every interest in knowing what was going on in Rome with a Polish pope" in office.
John Paul's staunch opposition to communism is credited with inspiring the rise in the 1980s of Poland's pro-democracy Solidarity movement, which helped end Communist rule in 1989.
