The Constitution shields religious worship, but there must be an inherent and implicit understanding that it does not shield hostile and invasive ideologies that pervert civic responsibilities in a manner designed to destroy the very society necessary for our constitutional order to flourish.
Ideologies that aim to replace the constitution, including the civic culture and the civilization that sustains it, with something else, are not immune from governmental confrontation. For over a hundred years, the danger of anarchists has prompted law enforcement to monitor and investigate anarchist networks, and the state has deported noncitizens associated with anarchism. The government has legitimate powers to minimize these threats: the Constitution is not a suicide pact.
-- Nathan Pinkoski, currently translating Éric Zemmour’s bestseller The Suicide of the French (Le Suicide français) into English for Encounter Books.
“The decline of community in the modern world has as its inevitable religious consequence the creation of masses of helpless, bewildered individuals who are unable to find solace in Christianity regarded merely as creed.”
Robert Nisbet

Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
