Post-secularism seems to follow in the wake of other (what are here called) "postal" perspectives--post-structuralism, postmodernism, post-empiricism, post-positivism, post-analytical philosophy, post-foundationalism and so on--in questioning or repudiating what it takes to be the epistemic assumptions of "modernism." To be sure, post-secularism is especially concerned with one particular assumed implication of modernism--namely that there can be no epistemic warrant for religious faith or belief. While sympathetic to the post-secularist attempt to rehabilitate religious faith and commitment, this article considers three possible philosophical bases for the justification or dismissal of religious belief--pre-modernism, modernism and "postal" perspectives--finding them all wanting. In their stead, the article develops a narrative account of religious meaning and understanding. On this view, religious texts, stories and myths--like other non-scientific narratives of wider literary and artistic culture--are crucial to the spiritual and moral cultivation of practical wisdom.
