Politics as Religion

J.I. Packer (ca. 1985): Trying to improve society is not worldliness but love.

“I know full-well that there is nothing original about observing that many Americans have transformed politics into a religion. The phrase ‘Great Awokening’ is a direct callback to arguably the most significant Christian religious revival of our nation’s past. It’s not original, nor is it surprising. We’re hard-wired for a spiritual purpose.” - David French
