Bill Buckley: ‘Duel Between Christianity and Atheism is Most Important in the World’

There are Americans today, holding themselves up as conservatives, who argue that one can be both an atheist and a conservative. This is absurd.

 

There is a God, He made us and all things, and His immutable moral laws apply to all men, in all nations, at all times. These fundamental truths--recognition of which is not confined to any particular religious denomination--were embraced by our Founding Fathers. A social and legal order consistent with these fundamental truths is at the very heart of what modern conservatives seek to conserve.

 

William F. Buckley Jr., founder National Review, wrote the following in his preface to God and Man at Yale:

 

“I consider this battle of educational theory important and worth time and thought even in the context of a world-situation that seems to render totally irrelevant any fight except the power struggle against Communism. I myself believe that the duel between Christianity and atheism is the most important in the world. I further believe that the struggle between individualism and collectivism is the same struggle reproduced on another level. I believe that if and when the menace of Communism is gone, other vital battles, at present subordinated, will emerge to the foreground. And the winner must have help from the classroom.”Scissors-32x32.png

This is an absurd argument, absurdly put, on an absurd subject.

 

I think someone needed to get a column written and this subject came up.

Being a Christian is not political. Being an atheist is not political. Why is the author confused about this?
