The cristian alternative

Abstract

The essay would be a review on the present state of society, of which is dominated a largely secularist worldview. It is an attempt to expose the inherent philosophical inconsistencies as well as the adverse effects of a distorted secularist ideology. The arguments presented within this work would allow one to see that a secularist state that is void of morality and religion is not a viable option; instead it would lead down the road of despair and even perhaps the collapse of civilizations. However, simultaneously, the essay is also concerns the proposal of a Christian alternative to secularism. It is my feeble attempt to illustrate the hope that the Christian faith offers; to remedy the despair that may be caused by a distorted idea of secularism. It is my goal to show that a society that is rooted in the Christian faith and the values that flow from it, would create an environment which encourages the goal of all civilizations, i.e. human flourishing.
