Denny Burk's "Some Provisional Reflections on the Refugee Situation"
"I had only just earned the PhD and was on the job market when my department’s graduate chairman took me aside, and in the kindliest terms, said, 'I wish I didn’t have to say this, but you should know that the slightest hint of religion on your résumé is the kiss of death.' In the years since I was given that advice, the shadows have only grown longer in the academic world. What we believe is now no longer merely odd, but discriminatory, and therefore fair game to be discriminated against....[This] is the death of ostracism, the death of contempt, the death of unemployability and poverty and incessant self-accusation for being so silly." (The Illusion of Respectability)
