I. THE LOSS OF INFLUENCE
Francis Schaeffer writing in 1984: “Christianity is no longer providing the consensus for our society.
And Christianity is no longer providing the consensus upon which our law is based.
That is not to say that the United States ever was a “Christian nation” in the sense that all or most of our citizens were Christians, nor in the sense that the nation, its laws, and social life were ever a full and complete expression of Christian truth.
There is no golden age in the past which we can idealize—whether it is early America, the Reformation, or the early church.
But until recent decades something did exist which can rightly be called a Christian consensus or ethos which gave a distinctive shape to Western society and to the United States in a definite way.
Now that consensus is all but gone, and the freedoms that it brought are being destroyed before our eyes.
We are at a time when humanism is coming to its natural conclusion in morals, in values, and in law.
All that society has today are relativistic values based upon statistical averages, or the arbitrary decisions of those who hold legal and political power.”
