Liberals, like Gnostics, consider themselves to be elites who have special knowledge that the rest of us peons just don't understand or appreciate.

They also worship Nature in the abstract, and have an eschatology based on "climate change".

The Da Vinci Code's gnosticism is not something that disappeared centuries ago. It survives as the religious substance of today's liberalism and its kindred sects of socialism.My only difference with the author is a quibble. Liberals do have, in general, a gnostic worldview. But the only reason they bother with any form of religion is twofold: (1) Deep inside, they are scared of God's Justice and want an explanation of how things work that requires no change in their behavior; and (2) They recognize Christianity as the single biggest barrier to obtaining the power to do as they will. Creeds like gnosticism weaken the Gospel by raising doubt.
