Episode notes

- Modern secular society often criticizes Christianity using Christian values.
- These values, like equality and compassion, are deeply rooted in Christian history and metaphysics.

- Equality is a theological commitment, not scientifically provable.
- The question isn't whether people are equal, but on what grounds they are equal.

- Secular humanism struggles to ground humanist values without Christian metaphysics.
