The Influence of Christianity on Western Moral Beliefs
Over 2000 years, Christianity has deeply molded Western moral beliefs, which are so ingrained that people are often unaware of their theological roots. Even though the presence of Christianity is fading, its legacy still influences societal values and behaviors. As Christianity's influence declines, people are realizing the importance of grounding their moral intuitions and values in a deeper foundation than just vague instincts or vibes. This realization is leading to a growing awareness of the Christian origins of Western values and prompts individuals, although still unsure about faith, to reconsider exploring the Christian narrative to regain a solid moral framework. Not just limited to religious figures, but also public intellectuals, are starting to express concerns about the potential direction of moral values in a post-Christian society.
