Godless democracy is destined to fail; a disbeliever cannot for long keep himself convinced of virtue without an absolute directive. The wants and needs of man, exclusory at their barest, will diverge from transcendent principle; soon after, civil and moral conduct. For all the reasoning he may use to logically justify the pursuit of selflessness and morality, if he is never able to answer the question of “Why” with the acceptance that a supreme being demands such behavior from us, his secular argument will disintegrate - not for lack of intelligent dialectic but for lack of faith.
