Every Christian Church that has allowed or embraced liberal ideology has ultimately declined or even vanished. Every country that has been taken over by liberal politics has seen a decline in Christianity. Liberal politics poses perhaps the single greatest impediment to the future of Christianity, independent of its effect on the economy and secular society.
Consider the following:
- Many people care more about politics (and money and jobs) than about religion, and when there is a conflict they choose politics over religion.
- Politically motivated corruption of religion is anticipated and blocked only by conservatism
- Only conservatism exposes and debunks liberal deceit
- Liberals control education, and its effect on Christian faith cannot be underestimated
- Many people, such as former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson, convert to Christianity only after witnessing conservative protests[1]
The pernicious effect of politics on religion helps explain:
- The changing position of European Catholics on the death penalty
- The decline of the Southern Baptist Convention[2]
Liberals use politics to exploit a literal interpretation of a phrase in the New Testament that God chooses the political leaders. Under this interpretation Christians should respect, honor and obey a political leader no matter how liberal or anti-Christian he is.
