Brazil and Hungary have elected right wing presidents and in the UK we have Brexit and many countries have similar types in the wings ready to take over. I'm sure the reasons are complex but we have had an era of unprecedented growth and prosperity which is now threatened by climate change,overpopulation,inequality of wealth etc etc. It's easy to blame others different from ourselves for our problems.

When Christians Were Atheists

Moravian comments on Feb 22, 2019:

The early Christians were persecuted not for worshiping their god but for refusing to worship the official Roman gods. Of course when their religion became the official one they behaved in an even worse way. For an excellent coverage of the early days read "The Darkening Age, the christian destrruction of the classical world" by Catherine Nixey.. Fascinating.
