American democracy … [has turned] the gospel into a support for the global spread of democracy and reducing the Church to a timid and tolerant participant in “democratic process.” This may not be surprising in itself, since politicians have often seen the Church as a means to a political end. What is disturbing is that the Church has accepted the liberal democratic story as her own, thereby permitting herself to become an appendage of American culture.
-Peter Leithart, Against Christianity, 62-63.
