世俗主义是国际关系理论和实践中政治权威的重要来源。世俗主义者将某种东西称为“宗教”，并将其与国家、经济和科学领域区分开来。这种分离促进了一种共识，这种共识是由一系列强大但历史上偶然的信念所支撑的，包括作为上帝意志的实现的世俗主义，作为向普遍道德的自然演变的世俗主义，以及作为经济现代化的正常结果的世俗主义。尽管有这些愿望，世俗主义还不足以成为国内或国际公共生活的普遍模式。宗教类别的创建及其与政治的划分是一个高度政治化的决定，不受最终解决的约束，而最终解决的借口只会加剧而不是减少国际冲突。宗教/政治谈判是一个流动的权威场所，与国家体系、全球经济、国际伦理和国际关系中其他更理论化的权力场所有着复杂的关系。
Secularism is an important source of political authority in International Relations theory and practice. Secularists identify something called ‘religion’ and separate it from the domains of the state, the economy and science. This separation facilitates a consensus which is sustained by a powerful yet historically contingent set of beliefs, including secularism as the realization of God’s will, secularism as the natural evolution toward universal morality and secularism as a normal consequence of economic modernization. Despite these aspirations, secularism is unequipped to serve as a universal model of public life, either domestically or internationally. The creation of the category of religion and its demarcation from politics is a highly politicized decision that is not subject to a final settlement, and the pretense of a final settlement exacerbates international conflict rather than diminishing it. The religion/politics negotiation is a fluid site of authority with complex relations to the state system, the global economy, international ethics and other more heavily theorized locations of power in international relations.
