‘just as our language and culture is steeped in the Bible, so too is our politics. From human rights and equality to our constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy…’ – David Cameron
Ain't this an intellectual blow upon the face of atheistic secularism? Prime Minister David Cameron in his King James Bible speech showed an understanding that the democratic project began way before the Enlightenment, it is rooted in biblical religion, in Jerusalem.
Equality – due to the fact that God made us, that we are all made in the image of God.
Constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy – due to the fact that since we are equal, one should not be made an unwilling subject of another.
Fundamental human rights – are inalienable due to the ontological view of man that biblical religion has proposed. Christianity offers a dignitarian view of man. That man has rights not because legislatures say so, but that it is God-given, by man's nature as children of God.
