The phrase is from first corinthians 13, when paul says, hey, you can have all these great virtues, knowledge, truth, whatever, but without love, you're like an empty gong.

Liberal democracy is under military threat abroad, and intellectual threat in America. And many of these domestic attacks are coming from within Christianity.
