Again, I wouldn't want to dispute this point. I'd merely say that it's not the whole story. Religions can be quite fissiparous - authority is not always welcome amongst the religious. And the sense of mission can also be what's keeping them in the cult.
5. Technocratic liberalism is, as Nietzsche observed of socialism and the left in general, merely another stage in the degeneration of Christianity (Protestantism more specifically). So it seeks to undermine the least entropic parts of Protestantism.

6. This is why the BBC/PBS/universities and the chattering classes hate Evangelical Protestantism so much and make so many programs ridiculing it. It’s like a fight between Trotskyites and Stalinists. The competition is fierce, because these are two similar sects.

That the two are closely related is undoubtedly true. Whether we are seeing degeneration or progress or something else I cannot say. But I suspect the ridicule from the intelligentsia will become harder to maintain as Christianity becomes less identified with whiteness.
