We
have written of magick as one possible religious path that folks in the several
States might walk in the future. Another
possibility is not a new religion but merely the strengthening of an already
existing one: the cult of Americanism.
Jay
Dyer describes it this way:
American churchianity,
and the West in general, are a giant atheism factory. . . . The rot of these institutions has many
sources, the more theological of which, I outlined in my video on the Decline of the West.
As I’ve mentioned, the
mass promotion of atheism lacks the power of any real hold on man’s heart
because man is a god-worshipping being. For the classical American
Protestant, for example, the Constitution becomes the new inspired text, the
“founding fathers” become the new church fathers, America becomes the new “city
on a hill” slash mystical body of Christ, and the “invisible hand” of the free
market is the new divine providence. . . .
One
could add to this. The Constitutional
Convention of 1787 is an Ecumenical Council.
Election campaign season, with its great physical and spiritual
exertions, is Great Lent. Presidential
Election Day is Holy Pascha/Easter. The
regular working of the legislature, courts, etc. is the Divine Liturgy, where
grace is mediated to the patriotic faithful through the sacraments of
‘constitutional’ laws, rulings, and so forth (unconstitutional = heretical,
without grace). Etc.
In
other words, because Protestantism (ironically) puts God at such a distance
from man, in the [u]nited States he has created a new god closer to him, the
Messianic American nation, to worship and adore. In this new religion, salvation lies in the
perfect working of the American political system and in participating in that
political life.
David
Brooks declares this rather plainly:
