If Christianity Recedes, What of Human Dignity?
New American Prophet ^ | June 11, 2025 | Frederick Wolf

“No power on this earth can destroy the thirst for human dignity.” – Nelson Mandela

Since the inception of Western civilization, the concept of human dignity has been that value most cherished by those who live under its domain. And it is fitting that we recognize Christianity to be responsible for this occurrence. As critical theorist Jürgen Habermas so eloquently put it:

“Egalitarian universalism, from which sprang the ideas of freedom…human rights and democracy, is the direct heir of the Judaic ethic of justice and the Christian ethic of love…To this day, there is no alternative to it…we continue to draw on the substance of this heritage…Everything else is just idle postmodern chatter.”

When men deny that they are created in God’s image, the nation tumbles into primal decadence.
