Lots of secular conservatives out there, I wouldn't go ostracizing them right now...
It is perfectly right if you are secular here, you can be secular as long as you accept Christian culture as one of roots of Euro-American culture which resulted in birth of United States of America of it's founding fathers.If you don't accept it you are probably not here reading it and don't care about freedom anyway
Did you heard about Oriana Falacci ? Italian journalist who were Italian patriot who moved to America. She were atheist in fact,atheist with even quite political left roots ! But despite she was sowing political division against muslims as barbarians and so in her text/manifesto "The Rage and The Pride" after 9/11 (well it is worth reading anyway) But except those cricicizing Muslims that text was one big praise of America and American people,American values. And what she else said ? Sorry for google translate because I don't found english original:
People like me have trouble declaring: "I-have-nothing-to do with-the-Catholic-Church." I have, and how. Whether I like it or not. How could I not have? I was born in a landscape full of churches, monasteries, Christs, Madonnas, saints. The first melody I heard coming into the world was the music of the bells. The bells of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, which in the Age of Tent were drowned out by the howling of the muezzin. It is in this music, in this landscape, that I grew up. It is through this music and through this landscape that I learned what architecture, sculpture, painting and art are. It was through this Church (then rejected) that I began to ask myself what is Good, what is Evil, by God's sake... You see I wrote "for God's sake" again. With all my secularism, with all my atheism, I am so imbued with Catholic culture that it is even part of the way I express myself. O God, my God, thank God, by God, my God, Jesus Maria, Holy Mother, Christ here, Christ there. These words come to mind so spontaneously that I don't even notice when I say or write them. Anything else you want to know? Despite the fact that I have never forgiven Catholicism the wickedness that he has imposed on me over the centuries, starting with the Inquisition, this inquisition that even burned my grandmother, poor grandmother, although I do not agree with the priests and do not know what their prayers may be of use to me, I I really like this bell music. She caresses my heart. I also like these sculptures and paintings of Christ, Madonna and saints. I'm a cat for icons. I also like monasteries and hermitages. They give me a sense of peace, sometimes I envy their inhabitants.
It is all about it. How was born respect to the individual rights,invidual freedoms in western culture if not because of having roots in christianity ? It is not about religious vs secular it is about culture being like the tree. Kill the roots - the tree will die. And that mean freedom and respect to us as individuals dead. Got it ?
Vague terms, like the ones used in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, can apply to any religion.
u/HarryxD What religion respects individual as being sovereign entity then ? Islam ? Of course not, islam means "perfect obedience to the god" and leaders ! ` ? It is so tribal culture obsessed with tribal loyalty - it is not. Ancient Roman or Greek Culture claiming slavery was natural and having no respect for human life ? Almost individualistic (for the leaders) but still government bootlicking as cultural norm. WHAT RELIGION ? Some Asian maybe - you know how individualistic is Chinese or Japanese original culture... /s
Most religions don't give a fuck about you as INDIVIDUAL. People of those religions and cultures don't like to be oppressed too of course,but they don't even understand clearly those concept of BEING FREE MAN ! Christianity did the most of it among the others about lowering iron grasp of rulers and mainstream "society",and that is root and soil - on which idea of freedom grew and flourished.
Why the fuck despite England being oppressive,like Catholic church being quite oppressive even "heresies" of people wanting individual freedom happened ? Do you think all cultures allow individualism if you believe you are right as virtue ?
In Christianity Jesus is "good Shepherd caring about all sheeps",ready to leave 99 to rescue the one lost. That's the key. Compare those to old Chinese communist "morality" where if you get hit by car driver would like to hit you again to avoid responsibility, or average person on the street avoid helping you and calling ambulance. If some Chinese become better - it because of our cultural influence !
Remove the vision of individual being important and that will uproot freedom. It is the cause of the war against Christianity besides satanist or other fanaticism.
