I think it was Leslie Newbigin in the 80s who predicted that as less people identified as Christian in the West that more people would begin to deify politics and that this would lead us to a very bad place. Edit: Found a quote from one of Newbigin's books: “The sacralizing of politics, the total identification of a political goal with the will of God, always unleashed demonic powers.” From his book Foolishness to the Greeks published in 1986.
