I believe you are greatly overstating his influence in the demise. While Prager remains an observant Jew, he frequently acknowledges the peace and order provided to society at large by Christianity as a social norm, as he did in this article and many others. His exegesis of Western Civs foundational legal principles in the Ten Commandments and the Genesis view of marriage are excellent.
There is a Biblical case to be made for a remnant of Jews to remain steadfast in their ancient faith until the return of the Messiah to Jerusalem.
Was this sarcasm? If not, would you explain?
And thats a bad thing? Classical liberalism is what prevented this nation from becoming a theocracy, and it wouldnt have been Jewish. Classical liberalism made free speech, debate, compromise and toleration the cornerstones of our freedoms and governance until the liberty-destructive 1960s.
Even the meaning of the word liberal has been rewritten lately.
If you saw AG William Barrs riveting interview by Mark Levin this past Sunday (well worth looking up on YouTube if not), Barr used the word liberal properly in an excellent discussion of the current threats to our system.
