Habermas, Prominent Atheist Philosopher Sings Praises of Christianity.
A prominent atheist singing the praises of Christianity? In Europe, where the culture wars have gotten to the point that the thought police in Sweden jailed a minister for a month because of his preaching against homosexual acts, that is exactly the case.
According to L'Esspresso Online, the German philosopher and proponent of the Frankfurt school, Jürgen Habermas, who describes himself as "a methodical atheist", in his recent essay "A Time of Transition" attributes Christianity alone as the ultimate foundation of liberty, conscience, human rights, and democracy, the benchmarks of Western civilization.
According to Habermas:"To this day, we have no other options. We continue to nourish ourselves from this source. Everything else is postmodern chatter."
