Since 1945, America’s liberal establishment has set the governing agenda. After the 1960s, this agenda-setting elite began to adopt increasingly aggressive cultural policies. Whatever one thinks of feminism or gay rights, one cannot dispute that these projects have become more and more extreme, to the point of embracing radical transgender ideology.
From the start, F IRST T HINGS founder Richard John Neuhaus recognized that rejecting secularism is not enough. We need to speak religiously about public affairs. The “yes” of interesting, vital, and relevant interventions into political debates is far more powerful than any “no” of critique or refutation.
F IRST T HINGS needs to provide a positive alternative to the increasingly radical and destructive liberal consensus. We need to set the agenda, not just in the moral sphere, but in economic and foreign policy as well.
Will you help FIRST THINGS articulate a positive, compelling alternative to the reigning liberal consensus? Give today to amplify the leading voice for thoughtful religious believers in the public square.
