History

People talk a lot about secularization of Christianity that then influences everything around us without us realizing.

But apocalypse isn’t one of them. These Christian end of world panics happened all the time, a big one every 100-200 years.

I think we still retain that mentality without the religious aspect of it

Something fascinating I learned recently is that the very concept of secularism comes from Christianity. 

I got into watching these lectures by the British historian Tom Holland and it gave me a whole new appreciation for Christian history.

Yes it seems like a completely counterintuitive idea until it's explained and then it's completely obvious.
