Despite his reputation as one of the foremost purveyors of nineteenth century religious skepticism, Herman Melville's work has a complex relationship with religion, particularly its role in public and political life. This project seeks to apply new scholarship on religion's role in public life (particularly Charles Taylor's 2007 work A Secular Age) to illustrate how Melville both recognizes the difficulty of belief in an increasingly secularized modern world while he also stresses its importance to maintaining democratic systems. I argue that Melville's novels---particularly Moby-Dick, The Confidence-Man , and Billy Budd---recognize religion and its role in public life as a fundamental fault line in modern American society. In particular, I examine how Melville demonstrates the necessity for democracy to accommodate religion while also recognizing the difficulty of belief.
