Taxonomy Of Christian Intellectuals | The American Conservative

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Religious freedom is worth defending after all, even in its flawed liberal sense, and Hobby Lobby shows us that it is still possible to win some battles while losing the war.
48% : One can be an integralist-tradinista for whom socialism is the political economy of the integralist state, or a benedictine drawn to populism because it promises political protection for the local and experimental, or an integralist who turns tradinista out of distaste for Donald Trump.
45% : Hobby Lobby notwithstanding, appeals to religious liberty, conceived as the freedom to put one's idiosyncratic beliefs into practice with minimal state interference, are not likely to fare well over the long haul as these beliefs come to seem still more idiosyncratic, as religious practice comes into conflict with more "fundamental" rights, and as the state's mediation of familial relations becomes ever more intrusive.
39% : And attempts to restore religious freedom to its proper philosophical place, as something like the sine qua non of freedom itself, presuppose just the view of human nature and reason that our post-Christian liberalism rejects from the outset.
