Quotes
Samuel Huntington wrote:
- “Conservatism is rooted in religion; liberalism is not. Obviously some liberals are religious, but more often they are secular, atheistic or agnostic. A few conservatives, following Hume, may share these views. Yet, while conservatives may or may not actively practise religion or be members of a church, it is difficult to be conservative without being religious. By and large conservatives believe in God, and since Americans are over- whelmingly a Christian people with a small but important Jewish minority, the God of American conservatism is the God of the Old and New Testaments. In contemporary America religious commitment and conservatism march arm in arm in battle against secularism, relativism and liberalism.” [1]
