American culture has deep roots, just like everywhere else. Just because the ideology of human rights or progressivism doesn’t identify itself as a post-Christian movement that doesn’t really make sense except on light of Christianity doesn’t make it untrue. The line from the Quakers with God’s inner light in each person to the inherent dignity of man is not exactly subtle. Likewise sex worker hostile feminism in Sweden or Norway uses similar rhetoric of concern for sex workers while doing everything in their power to make their lives hell. Just because the feminists in question don’t talk about Christ that doesn’t mean they’re not the same kind of judgmental bourgeois Lutherans their grandmothers were.
