Secular humanism as a worldview fails because it doesn’t deal with reality. This manifested failure has ushered in the postmodern era, in which Westerners, having lost confidence in the secular story of the world, are floundering. Unfortunately, in the wake of this void comes Islam, which secularism can neither persuade nor resist. However, the predominant representation of the (reductionist) gospel we now see in the West is, I would argue, similarly ineffective.

In last week’s commentary, I pointed out how Great Britain, through incremental concessions to Muslim demands, is sowing the seeds of its own subjugation. As to the cause of this civilizational suicide, Europe rendered itself impotent long ago when it traded its Christian philosophical foundations for that of secularism.
