%X As valuable as postsecularism theory has been for literary studies, it carried the baggage of the secularization thesis. A reading of David Foster Wallace¡¯s ¡°Good People¡± within its political context returns us to the ¡°strong religion¡± against which postsecularist ¡°weak religion¡± was initially posed. It is this return of strong religion ¨C as the Christian Right ¨C that has been the most transformational religious development in the postwar United States, even as it continues to be under-remarked in literary studies
