Conrad Black: A Christian uprising is here to save the West

Conrad Black's article suggests a resurgence of Christianity in the Western world, particularly in the United States, where religious practice is on the rise after a decline over the past few decades. This trend is notable as religious practice was steady for over five years before increasing again. The percentage of Americans who believe in the existence of some form of divine or supernatural intelligence has risen to 86 per cent, indicating a significant shift in belief.

Moreover, the number of regular religious practitioners, though still substantial at 44 per cent, appears to be increasing. This shift is seen as a counterbalance to the atheistic tendencies of the Enlightenment, which some argue threatened the nascent American people. Black's article appears to celebrate this Christian revival, highlighting how it combines the spirit of progress with a conviction of divine favor.
