THE ARC OF CHRISTIAN RESPONSIBILITY AND RATIONALITY:
Fundamentalism > Traditionalism > Secular Humanism
Fundamentalist arguments from Christians are always false. But surprisingly, moral arguments from Christians are nearly always correct – unfortunately they all too often require the fundamentalist paradigm of indoctrination to wield. When Christianity evolves into secular humanism, it ceases being a personal philosophy and becomes a political philosophy thus decreasing the personal responsibility of Christianity into the political and economic philosophy that seeks to undermine personal responsibility in favor of public ‘caretaking’ (infantilization).
So IMO the Church of England is Correct, training in Christian teachings when young, need only produce rational application of traditional Christian morality in adulthood, and as both rational and moral it will defend against the abandonment of that responsibility in secular humanism.
Thinking of the faith as producing responsibility for the self and commons, and insulating the self from the seductions of irresponsibility for self and commons by others, isn’t the lens through which we view Christianity. But it is however, the reason for it’s success.
