Hitler won WWII. The U.S. and the governments of the so-called “free world” have been making war on the family and Christianity for more than 100 years.

Could be a point there. In its intense focus on the mortal, WWII forgot to focus on the spiritual, which was an intense shame because it could have taught some good lessons. Questions such as: How did Hitler get the way he did? got answered not in spiritual terms but in political ones, making us afraid of forceful politics in general rather than afraid of basing politics on the wrong thing.

However, “the family and Christianity” may have set itself up for an unnecessary fall too. As we might put it, Uncle Sam isn’t appointed to be your preacher, isn’t appointed to be your godfather. To wail and travail because such a thing is ceasing to be, is to mightily discount what God can do through the churches.

I would contend that the “Age of Anxiety” won and is still strong as ever. Shun God's desires/will and there is only the infallible creatures left that will “pick up” the “slack”/lead. This atmosphere is like shooting fish in a barrel to would-be dictators/central planners.

Sorry, “infallible creatures”. Forgot the parentheses to emphasize the folly of looking towards philosopher kings thinking they are a god unto themselves.
