Non-Overlapping Magisteria
Stephen Jay Gould's proposal that science and religion occupy completely separate domains that have nothing to do with each other: science deals with the external, objective world of fact; religion deals with the internal, subjective world of value. There is an absolute fact/value dichotomy, an absolute subjectivity/objectivity dichotomy, and that's how we manage the relationship.
NOMA was presented as resolution but is actually another problematic framework. The horizontal dichotomies it relies on are just as questionable as the vertical ones — which is the central question of postmodern critique.
