For far too long, secularism has peddled the illusion of political neutrality—a claim that governance can exist without moral impositions. In truth, secularism was never neutral; it was a calculated project to dislodge God from the public square, creating space for a man-centered order in which morality is dictated by shifting cultural whims. The fruit of this experiment has been anything but neutral: perverse justice systems, the erosion of objective truth, and the unchecked rise of tyranny. Yet many still cling to secularism’s false promise, believing that it was neutrality—not Christianity—that produced the prosperity and freedoms they now take for granted.
But politics is never neutral. It is always a religious endeavor, structured around an ultimate principle of worship. Whether that object of devotion is the state, the self, or the living God determines the trajectory of a civilization. A society shaped by secularism will inevitably worship power, licentiousness, or the state itself, while a society ordered by Christendom will seek to establish justice, uphold righteousness, and recognize the transcendent authority of God over all things. Thus, the choice before us is clear: either embrace the robust vision of Christian governance or continue in the failed experiment of secular neutrality.
The world is at an inflection point. The failure of secularism has left a vacuum, and something will inevitably fill its place. Mere Christendom offers not just an alternative but the only coherent vision of a just and flourishing order. But such an order will not emerge spontaneously—it must be cultivated, defended, and established by those who understand the weight of the moment. The question before us is simple: will we rise to the occasion, or will we leave the world to its ruin?
