Deep dives
Decline of Christianity in America
Christianity is losing its influence as the dominant force in America's public life, leading to a post-Christian era. Cultural shifts and the rise of pagan ethos are replacing Christian values in shaping societal norms and policies. The decline in church attendance and affiliation signals a weakening of Christianity's societal impact, with anti-Christian sentiment growing in public discourse.
Paganism vs. Christianity in Society
The resurgence of pagan ideals, characterized by radical subjectivity and rejection of universal truths, challenges the traditional Christian values that once guided American society. Pagan ethos emphasizes force and coercion over shared values, contributing to a societal shift away from Christian principles towards more secular and spiritually open ideologies.
Pushback Against Christian Nationalism
The concept of Christian nationalism is debunked as Christianity's influence wanes in American public life. Despite misrepresentations, the reality is a decline in Christian adherence and the erosion of Christian values in societal norms and policies. Setting the record straight contrasts the diminishing influence of Christianity with the false narrative of a rising Christian nationalist movement.
Hope for the Future
Amidst the decline of Christianity, there is a call to revitalize faith in the public square and reclaim Christian values in societal discourse. Advocating for a proactive approach, the emphasis is on engaging in public dialogue, rebuilding Christian influence in local communities, and preparing to defend faith in an increasingly secular and spiritually diverse society.
Glenn gives a Boomer's defense for Gen Zers who struggle with 9-5 jobs: Are they just whiny and entitled, or is there something else going on? Gen Zers are starting to wake up to all the lies that the government has told them. Inflation is so bad that you now need to make $75,000 a year to afford ... Olive Garden?! Are we becoming a pagan nation? "Pagan America" author John Daniel Davidson joins Glenn to explain how the post-Christian era of America has already begun and what this will mean moving forward.
