Modern secularism is the main cause of the West being so weak. Basically, the West has no faith. What does it matter if there is no god? If the bible is not true? How can Islam hurt us if we don’t believe? Never mind that Muslims believe, and will do what their holy(fart) book says. The West does not. Not enough. But getting rid of secularism, I do not believe that will happen. Too many people like to pretend that what they do, how they have sex(homo’s), and all sorts of other sins, have no consequences.
I disagree vehemently.
The potential of fundamental Christianity, or Judaism, or any religion is every bit as abhorrent, criminal and mindless as islam is today.
Having "faith" and excercising mindless faith are two very distinct universes. For example, the most powerful weapon Christianily owns is the living by example and not coercion.
"Lack of faith" can only sound believeable if one lives on the west and east coasts... and is otherwise culturally confused and isolated.
