Forming a secular movement would only weaken the secular majority‘s standing, as only a few would join, he argued, while the idea of secular conversion is a "philosophical catch–22."

Beilin said in response that he, too, is unsure about forming a movement, but "it never occured to me that someone from Meretz would have a problem with forming a secular lobby."
