The Consequences of Declining Christian Influence

The decline of Christian influence is linked to the rise of progressive ideologies, which often replace reason with moralizing rhetoric. This shift has prompted former atheists to confront the loss of the underlying principles that contribute to human rights and societal well-being, as illustrated by historian Tom Holland. Many now argue that the core tenets of Christianity are essential for maintaining a decent civilization and its values. The recognition that the benefits of a Christian worldview extend beyond actual believers underscores a critical moment for discussion about the faith's enduring relevance.
