McGrath is completely right. Gandhi had a passionately religious viewpoint, albeit an enlightened one - alas he himself was killed by a bigoted co-religionist. His success in India can be largely ascribed to his brilliant tactic of pointing out, non-violently, the difference between the liberal values the British professed to hold and the reality of their actions on the ground in India.

Which other large engines of liberal secular values can you point to Carol, excluding those rooted in western ideas of course?
