Abstract
In the broader context of post-secularism and Lombaard’s contributions, needful of philosophy, this minority report lights upon an analytic–post-secular crossover. Here, responding to Lombaard’s categorical quest for the ‘religious’, philosophy serves to support greater realism in the discourse of the philosophy/sociology of religion so that we might better consider social, spiritual and philosophical capital. By small means, focusing on ontological, relational, democratic, psychological, social and analytic features of the humble category, it is suggested that an attitude of mitigated realism serves best in relief from suspicious theoretical pasts.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article attempts to demonstrate how post-secular categories like that of the ‘religious’ are enriched in post-analytic engagement with European philosophy and what this might require of theory.

Summary
Lombaard’s categorical invitation for minority dissent against ‘suspicion’: How real is the ‘religious’ in post-secular context?. The act itself is remembered, even if unconsciously, in the first attempts to distinguish different things in the world where, in the first place the boundaries can be drawn anywhere we please At this stage the universe cannot be distinguished from the way we act upon it, and the world may seem like shifting sand beneath our feet. This article begins with a nubby joke, for the good of reason. It goes: ‘What is the difference between a Pilot and God?’ In reply it claims: ‘God doesn’t go around thinking He’s [sic] a pilot’.
