DEBATE: Is Christianity The Air We Breathe? (James Croft vs Glen Scrivener)

Religion & TheologyDuelAdded 21d ago

Glen Scrivener, a Christian apologist, and James Croft, a Secular Humanist Chaplain, debate the proposition "Is Christianity the air we breathe?" Scrivener argues that Christian principles and values are deeply embedded in Western society, influencing its moral framework, legal systems, and cultural norms, often in ways that are unacknowledged by secular individuals. He contends that even modern secular humanism draws heavily from a Christian ethical heritage. Croft counters this by asserting that many foundational ethical and societal advancements predate or developed independently of Christianity, or emerged in opposition to religious dogma. He likely emphasizes the role of reason, Enlightenment values, and diverse philosophical traditions in shaping contemporary society, pushing back against the idea that Christianity is the sole or primary source of its most cherished ideals.
