Religion and Politics: A Troubled Separation

This chapter examines the division between religious and political life, arguing for the privatization of faith in modern democracies. It contrasts two strategies adopted by Christians regarding their relationship with liberal democratic ideologies and the subsequent erosion of Christian values in public life. The discussion further critiques the challenges faced by Christianity amid the rise of liberal democracy and highlights the parallels with historical communist systems, ultimately questioning the integrity of this ideological shift.
