What happens to cultures and societies when they depart from Christian standards and norms? Intuitively, we know thatrejecting Christianity leads to troubles, for individuals, churches and even countries. But does the evidence back this intuition?
Joining the Christian Emergency Podcast to answer these questions and more is Dr. David Haskell. The Canadian sociologist serves as a tenured professor at Wilfrid Laurier University. As a biblical Christian, teaching on a public college campus in Canada has proven challenging. Over his years as an academic, he’s studied the sociological data and impact of cultures either embracing or abandoning Christian norms.
The conclusions were clear and compelling. Cultures that follow Christian norms enjoy greater productivity, societal trust, lower crime, and a host of other benefits. The results were so stark, that Professor Haskell abandoned liberal Christianity and embraced a biblical faith.
Dr. Haskell also addresses other important topics, including the impact of mass immigration, Bill C-9 (now known as the Combatting Hate Act since it was formally enacted into law), and the rash of church fires across Canada.
