2 interesting thoughts correlating spirituality, society, & government heard on podcasts recently.

1) when a society falls into atheism, it then falls into totalitarianism. When societies move away from spirituality, that spiritual protection is gone. (Sean Hanlon- BioCharisma)

2) modern society’s comfort, convenience, stability/predictability have created a faithless society. You don’t need faith or to cultivate a trust in a higher power when you don’t have to sit in uncertainty or struggle to sustain your life. (Becoming Sovereign- Nolan Wilson)

In my own life, I see that the deeper relationship I have with God, the more sovereignty I desire and the more individual responsibility I feel called to take on. Staying divorced from nature and from God is the best way to keep people in their dependent relationship with government.

You can either serve God or serve government.

I think you're mis associating causes and effects. Dogmas do not produce healthy societies. The opposite, in fact. The more people learn to critically think and work things out themselves, the more able they become; the more empowered. Inversely, when ppl just follow dogmas, they never develop those skills. They just adhere and obey.
