A cultural recovery?

Christianity appears to be having a little cultural recovery.

I don’t mean for a moment that the general hostility in society to Christianity is lessening. But it is true that a growing number of secular commentators are realising that Christianity is, in some sense, a thing which we cannot do without.

Tom Holland has advanced a thesis that all secularism is in fact an outgrowth of Christianity; Jordan Peterson has increasingly pointed to the Biblical roots of much that we value in the West; even Richard Dawkins has recently said that he considers himself a ‘cultural Christian’. These thinkers seem to have looked Atheism in the face, and realised that they don’t like what they see.
