The Fate of Christian Culture

Submitted by Scott Miller, Sep 17, 2007 16:53

It's hard to see this as a secular age when 85 percent of Americans say they believe in God, and the religious assertions of the White House are indistinguishable from those of Muslim (and other) extremists. Rather this seems an age of religious entrenchment (albeit multiple trenches). Agnostics like me would welcome a "new age of religious searching." It's the new search for religious certainty (secure identity) that is terrifying (or terrorizing). Whatever happened to God as "unknowable?"
