View Full Version : Christianity’s decline has unleashed terrible new gods

Not since the road to Damascus has there been a more notable spiritual volte-face than the one made on LBC this week. Having spent a career breathing threats against the disciples of the Lord, a certain Richard Dawkins is struck by a moment of realisation. And lo, the voice of Rachel Johnson came unto him and said “Dawko, Dawko, why persecutest thou me?”

OK, perhaps it didn’t happen quite like that, but Professor Dawkins’ admission that he considers himself a “cultural Christian”, who is, at the very least, ambivalent about Anglicanism’s decline is an undeniably contradictory position for a man who in the past campaigned relentlessly against any role for Christianity in public life, railing against faith schools and charitable status for churches.



One reason for Dawkins’ change of heart might be good old-fashioned scientific observation. It doesn’t take the brains of an evolutionary biologist to work out that New Atheism was mistaken in its diagnosis of what would follow religion’s decline. The rational world we were promised hasn’t materialised and a nastier, less reasonable one is supplanting what was there before.



Not that things are much better south of the border, where we have de facto blasphemy laws under which a teacher can be forced into hiding for showing his class a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed. Certainly not the neutral secular space we were promised with the erosion of Christianity’s central role in society.



Still, though Dawkins has spoken of his “cultural Christianity” before, this feels like another staging-post on a journey towards the good Professor finally admitting that the New Atheism, of which he was such a shining light, was wrong in crucial respects. First, in its almost touching naivety that a post-Christian world would give way to a values-neutral space, rooted in reason. Second, in its semi-adolescent diagnosis of Christianity as a retardant upon cultural and intellectual progress. A New Atheist would generally cite the Spanish Inquisition or some wacky US creationist as representatives of the world’s largest faith – conveniently ignoring any contradictory examples.

Like all good conversions, there’s an element of repentance; though unlike St Paul, Dawkins hasn’t had to go blind for three days to experience this epiphany. He also speaks of his concern at the rise of Islam in Christianity’s place; perhaps a tacit acknowledgement that some prominent atheists (though not he) focused excessively on Christianity, being an easy target compared to other religions.

Recognising Christianity’s cultural impact is the first step. The bigger task facing the West is living out these values in an age when they are increasingly under threat.

Islam is the religion of shit, of hate, of everything putrid. There is no way their Allah is the same as the benevolent God of Judeo-Christian religion.

Atheists, liberals, LGBTQ, they/them weirdos, all exist in free societies that were founded upon Christianity, that allows tolerance. As this article points out, without Christianity buttressing society, the vacuum is filled with disorder and amorality. Freedoms are good, but the liberals are abusing it with their perversions, and you know what I mean. One thing important in Christian thought is being grateful and thankful for your blessings, and certainly living in the West confers great blessings.

But despite these blessings, who is UNGRATEFUL? Niggers, liberals, and border niggers. They never stop to thank, but to keep on taking without putting back in. In short, they are enemies of freedom and everything that is holy and righteous.

I don't want to pontificate and prattle about religion and Christianity; that's not my focus. Rather, it's that Christianity is the ideological framework that has produced the ages of exploration, enlightenment, rational thought, and modern Western society. And these are matters worth nurturing and sustaining and defending. Hence our aim here to repel and spread the truth about the religion of everything evil - Islam.

There is no greater threat to Western Civilization than the satanist cult, Islam... It is the embodiment of pure, unadulterated evil. It is a dagger being plunged into our collective hearts. It must be fought as it has in the past... with the expenditure of both blood and treasure. None of us will be safe until every last one of these devils becomes part of the detritus food chain.

It being embraced by liberals is proof-positive of liberal's profound psychosis. Each and every lib-shit talking point is rejected in the strongest possible terms by Islamic scum. Alphabet people are set ablaze or, by koranic edict, throw out of windows or off roofs where they are promptly popped in the head by waiting demons. Women have the same social standing as toasters. And yet there the LibScums are, baying for their acceptance while the asslifters plot how to snuff out their lives... A nation gone totally mad.

They are easy to make fun of. I'm becoming more resistant to doing so. Islam is too evil and their stench can be found in the halls of local school boards to the United States Congress. Fuck Joe Biden is pandering to them at the expense of our one, dependable and consistent ally in the region, Israel.

Arm up... It's coming

Let's not forget one of the most important contributions of the Culture of Christianity to the world: The Family. One Man + One Woman = One Family. This not only produced strong children who build strong civilization and culture, but it kept our gene pool properly mixed and (unlike islam) protected against inbreeding.

...Islam is too evil and their stench can be found in the halls of local school boards to the United States Congress...

Their tentacles stretch out even further:

It is one of the absurdities of our post-Christian age that the LGBT movement wields tremendous institutional power while constantly posturing as victims.
This tension is on display once again as Hungary is dragged before the European Court of Justice on charges of the “massive and flagrant violation of several important EU rules.” Why? Because of the 2021 Hungarian Child Protection Act, legislation that mandates a zero-tolerance policy for pedophiles and restricts LGBT propaganda from being targeted at children.

It is this aspect of the legislation that has drawn the ire of the European elites. The law has been condemned as “anti-LGBTQ” – one of the primary unforgiveable “sins” of our post-Christian age – and referred to by a lawyer for the European Commission this month as “a frontal and serious attack on the rule of law and more generally on European society.” The European Commission referred the case to the Court of Justice in December of 2022.
This case is a microcosmic example of the civilizational clash at play across the West. To the European Commission, restricting explicit depictions of homosexuality and transgenderism in the media and educational content for children under 18 is a serious, frontal attack “on European society” – albeit not a European society that would be recognizable to Europeans circa 50 years ago. To the Hungarian government, it is a move to preserve the nation’s Christian heritage and to prevent minors from being influenced by an ideological movement, especially because gender dysphoria has proven to be a social contagion.


Indeed, note well that the Hungarian government is not restricting LGBT content in general – only for those under the age of 18. The fact that this has triggered such outrage is very revealing, to say the least. LGBT activists and their vassals in the EU want to influence children. They want this content in education. As it turns out, their movement was never really about freedom for adults to begin with. It was about the wholesale transformation of society, from cradle to grave.
The backlash to Hungary’s law has included 16 of the EU’s 27 member states joining in a collective legal action against the Central European country, including France and Germany, two of the most powerful countries. In April 2023, the EU Parliament adopted a resolution claiming that the law actually “works towards dismantling democracy and the rule of law in Hungary,” despite the resounding electoral victory of the Fidesz government after passing the law. It is illuminating to see the LGBT movement and “democracy” and “rule of law” portrayed as synonymous by the EU elites.


The case now constitutes “the largest human rights case in EU history,” and predictably, media outlets reporting on the case constantly reference Hungary’s allegedly close ties to Russia and insinuate that Prime Minister Victor Orban is merely following in Putin’s footsteps in restricting LGBT propaganda. This, of course, is to ignore Orban’s entire career. The prime minister is a Calvinist, and his socially conservative values are well-known. Tying Orban to Putin in this way is an attempt to smear Orban as an autocrat and to buttress the feeble allegations of an attack on democracy.
The European Commission sees this fight as very important, alleging that Hungary’s law “violates core EU values” and also undermines the EU’s single market rules on “services and audiovisual media” for its restrictions on LGBT content for those under 18. Several bookstores and other establishments in Hungary have received fines under the law for violating the law, and the EU is coming to the defense of LGBT activists. If Hungary loses its case at the Court of Justice, they will likely be ordered to pay a massive fine – or procedures to suspend the country’s voting rights in EU meetings could be initiated.

Hungary is finding out the hard way who really runs the show.
