It is only a historical accident that conservatism in this country is still conserving the Christian tradition.\u00a0 The further we move away from our Christian roots, the more conservatism will start to conserve something else, like the racist and tribal fealties of some imagined ethnos, or duty to the favored cultic deity (in America these tend to be Mammon, Mars, and Venus).\u00a0 Since the habit of the conservative is generally to make sure that we go on making the mistakes that progressive have pioneered, there is an increasing chance that as the culture de-christianizes, future conservatives will help solidify that turn against the Christian tradition, as the tools at Occam\u2019s Razor are now doing in the name of \u201cconservatism\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
