While there are bits of this essay I disagree with, it is still fascinating and I think hits on many truths today.
Political cults are filling the space left by the decline of organized faiths.
"And so we're mistaken if we believe that the collapse of Christianity in America has led to a decline in religion. It has merely led to religious impulses being expressed by political cults. Like almost all new cultish impulses, they see no boundary between politics and their religion. And both cults really do minimize the importance of the individual in favor of either the oppressed group or the leader."

Liberalism is killing the religion and offering the political cult at the same time.

Liberalism is killing the religion and offering the political cult at the same time.
True, Liberalism is antithesis to established religion, as is Islum to our Founding Documents.
Makes sense why the left would gravitate towards Muscum.
Liberalism is more than a political cult. Sure, on the surface it looks like liberals worship politics. But a deeper look into their beliefs reveals the 2nd oldest religion on earth --- Satanism!
Its Satanism, plain and simple. Nothing new under the sun.
