From Moral Majority to Evil Disbelievers

Abstract

"P eople rightly note the way Christians in English-speaking Western culture have moved in ageneration from being ‘moral majority’ to ‘immoral minority’. But I wonder whether that reallycatches the intensity of the dislike and disdain that I see in the two Western societies with which I am most familiar, the UK and Australia. You see, when I read the Sydney Morning Herald or the UK’s Guardian, what I perceive goes beyond a simple charge of immorality (and I’m not talking just about the articles, but the subsequent reader feedback). It has a religious intensity. Th same applies to the socalled New Atheism: Richard Dawkins sounds like an OT prophet denouncing Israel’s unbelief."
