The war on Christianity is a war on all belief
The war on Christianity is a war on meaning, tradition, and freedom. I may not follow Christ, but I’ll fight to protect what built the West.
Most people hear “(Germanic) Pagan defends Christianity” and jump straight to “hypocrisy.”
But it’s not hypocrisy. It’s coherence.
Because while I don’t kneel before a cross, I do see the bigger picture. When Christianity comes under attack from the modern Left, it’s an assault on the civilizational bedrock of the West. And if you think it ends at the church doors, you’re kidding yourself.
Let’s break it down.
Defending a cultural foundation, not a creed
I follow Germanic Paganism because it aligns with my spirit, my ancestry, and my values. But I’m not blind to the fact I live in the Western world. The one that even allows me to be openly Pagan and critical of Christianity was built on Christian scaffolding.
-
The idea that rights come from a higher authority than the state? That’s Christian.
-
The belief in objective moral law? Christian.
-
The limitation of kings and rulers under divine law? Again—Christian theology at work.
You don’t have to buy into the divinity of Christ to see that the world Christianity helped build was far more spiritually and morally robust than the managerial sludge peddled today.
When the Left takes aim at Christianity, it’s not just about Jesus. It’s about wiping the civilizational memory clean and salting the earth so nothing sacred grows again. And what replaces it? Neither Paganism, as some Christians will claim, nor Reason.
What fills the void is technocratic nihilism, state worship, and moral relativism enforced by HR departments.
You want that future? I sure as hell don’t.
The fight is about the right to believe
When Christianity gets censored, ridiculed, or labeled dangerous, even if some brands of Christianity are, don’t think you’re safe just because you’re not part of that flock.
Spiritual freedom isn’t selectively applied.
When the mob gets a taste for burning crosses, and I’m not talking about the mob that wears white pillowcases over their heads, they’ll come for your hammer next. And when they erase churches from the public square, runes are next on the list.
When they shame people for reading the Bible, don’t expect them to make an exception for the Havamal.
I defend Christianity because I’m defending freedom of conscience. The universal right to believe in something deeper than the state, materialism, and mankind.
Take that away, and we’re all orphans.
The Left doesn’t hate Christianity for theological reasons
The modern Left doesn’t rage against Christianity because of the virgin birth or the resurrection. They rage because Christianity:
-
Affirms the nuclear family
-
Challenges moral subjectivity
-
Upholds the idea of truth, not opinion
-
Refuses to kneel before secular idols
- And it competes against the State
And here’s the truth: You and I may not share theology with Christians, but we share an enemy.
That enemy is cultural amnesia with a fetish for top-down control. They hold a sick idea that everything sacred must be deconstructed, commodified, and buried under bureaucracy.
When Christianity gets demonized for resisting the moral collapse, I recognize a fellow dissident.
Paganism and Christianity: Not natural enemies
Here’s a little secret that Leftist academics and pissed-off Reddit atheists don’t want you to hear: Christianity and Paganism share more than they’d like to admit.
Both:
-
Value the sacred
-
Embrace myth, story, and meaning
-
Honor loyalty, sacrifice, duty, and divine order
-
See man as more than flesh and bone
Sure, there were historical clashes. But history is messy, and often state-driven. Remove the imperialism, and you’re left with two traditions deeply invested in preserving transcendence against the flattening effect of modernity.
Today, both Christianity and Paganism face a common threat: A world that sees belief itself as a glitch, not a feature.
This is principle, not nostalgia
I don’t defend Christianity because I’m a secret convert. I defend it because I believe in principle over tribe.
If the system can criminalize belief in a cross, it can criminalize belief in anything.
If it can label Christians “extremists” for following their faith, it can do the same to any spiritual community that refuses to conform. Unless, of course, if that spiritual community clashes with Western values.
And here’s the bottom line:
You don’t need to worship the Cross to know the people trying to burn it would gladly melt your runes down, too.
Remembering who we are
I don’t have to like Christianity to see its value. I just have to recognize that it built the walls that kept the worst of the world out for centuries.
Now those walls are under siege. And if they fall, don’t think your sacred grove will be spared.
So yes, I’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with Christian dissidents, not because I agree with them on every point, but because we share a deeper loyalty to meaning, spirit, the sacred, and to the West, flawed as it may be.
In an age of cultural erasure, defending what’s left of our roots isn’t weakness.
It’s warriorship.
And if you want further proof that I would go to war to defend Christianity, look no further than my dystopian science fantasy, Wind Wielder. Yeah, the Sacred Texts mentioned in that book take a lot of Pagan concepts.
But when you read between the lines, there are a lot of Christian elements hidden within those texts, too.
