Of those people I know who have left the mainstream they have ended up calling themselves cultural Christians. And this is in Britain, where being a Christian is a subject of ridicule. But there is little direction for this. We're essentially at the beginning of this trend in a landscape that has been hollowed out by the likes of The Church of England, and Rome.
For me there has been a pulling force for a few years, particularly as I've now realised the best marriage options are from a background that is more than nominally religious. An issue is I don't believe in theology, just the culture.
Looking at civilisations it's apparent that there are two facets that civilisations need to survive.
One is
regulation of sex that over generations changes the gene pool, which in term acts as a feedback loop with society. Society and genes are a considerable extent the same thing. The issue is that process has gone too far and we're going to have a pull back. This also calms society by giving most men a place, staving off incel rebellions.
The other is a
religion where everyone subscribed to rules that they believe are divine and can't be tampered with by man. Humans won't follow the rules of a leader after they're dead. Other leaders come in with new rules. We are seeing this today in the largely Godless societies the laws have changed dramatically since the world wars. The increasingly further left are going towards the complete deconstruction of any structure they associate with Christianity onwards.
If you deconstruct social structures you don't get an empty milieu of freedom as these people would think. You end up getting
society breaking down into ever smaller units that can't cooperate with each other. You see this with the new tranny vs. 3rd wave feminists and black, queer feminist vs. cis-white feminist battles. Their progressiveism is the creation of ever more groups who can't even communicate. None of the structures those people are trying to set up under the guise of deconstructing bigotry will be around for long.
The role religion has played is to put people within structures that are able to survive across centuries, which is owing to the fact the structure is divine, rather than man-made. There is a special place in peoples' minds that places the divine over what man can do. And it's only from the
inter-generational stability this provided that we have had any civilizations at all.
If you read descriptions of pagan societies from classical civilisations, beyond them being terrible places to live, you will find that by going to the next village you'd find a similar but radically different religion.
These people were at constant war with each other over their differences. The left insists chopping us back down to having radical differences is the future. But in the lack of cohesive structure and animosity they will create, something else will end up stepping into the void they create.
Britain ended up in a similar place we are now at the beginning of the 19th century. On the back of the agricultural revolution, people's lives became easier and morals became very loose. The church ebbed,
welfare spending increased 800%, illegitimacy increased 500%. If you thought that these 'virgins' auctioning off their 'virginity' was something new, they were at that in the
1700s. The social fabric was damaged to the extent that society had to go very conservative in response: the rise of religion – particularly more conservative forms, temperance, workhouses and the promotion of etiquette in regards to women.
We're at the same stage again, where rampant liberalism has hollowed out society to the point it is falling apart. But we've never seen this level of degeneracy before. Gender under abolition, the nation state under abolition, marriage until death essentially dead, tweens watching a never ending conveyor belt of dildo-clad popstars twerking on stage and telling their fans to get sugar daddies and be strippers, the veneration of narcissistic botox whores who live in a valley of pedoes who raped them…
These are the kind of things you need structures in place to stop and a society that can maintain itself across generations is not possible in this environment.
So back to the main topic – Christianity and its slowly bubbling resurgence into consciousness against the current backdrop. You have the red pill, which is essentially the same as Peterson's “clean your room”. Become a competent individual - find out how to get things you want. But this doesn't fulfill all of healthy human desire. Liberalism gives you a whole host of things you can belong to: a fan of a vapid boy band, a registered member of some wank site, a member of a corrupt political party, a sunlight starved gaming clan… These provide something people can belong to. But in liberalism we are increasingly belonging to tiny little shards. In the case of some of those examples, they will not last our life time and will be forgotten. This is not to say those groups should not exist, but if all your belong to is PornHub, you are seriously lacking in fulfilling your needs.
Christianity provides the environment for you to fulfill this aspect of yourself. It's existed for longer than almost anything else you can touch, most of your ancestors were in it for over a thousand years; and it provides the structure that your descendants will need to go on living into the future. And there's not much more you could belong to than the creative force of everything.
We can already see the lineage of people who have low levels of structure and meaning (leftists) have decreasing birth-rates. Increasingly the meaning of their existence is that they should be the end of their family line. Any meaning they do have is limited to a very short time-frame and prone to radical change. While they move towards everything that cannot sustain their own microscopic, self-collapsing universe, we are moving more towards what will sustain an environment we would like ourselves and our descendants to live in.
You can see this dynamic in the increasing traffic of people leaving leftist areas in the US: IL, CA and NY in particular. The environments they have created are not permissible for healthy family life or a self-sustaining society. The people who live there belong to little of any importance, most of which will be gone in a few decades in an society that is doomed to failure. They've somehow managed to mix the worst of high taxes to pay for socially destructive and irresponsible projects with a shrinking area in which people can even afford to try and have a family.
Shelf life:
Communism - 70 years
Social democracy - I give it a few more decades
Christianity: ~2000 years
