So if you try to erase enlightenment liberalism, it erases the connection to Christianity.

But if you center enlightenment liberalism, you center the connection to Christianity.

Lots of countries (England, etc) are explicitly, legally, Christian nations. America is not.

And that's because America was founded on enlightenment liberalism.

But enlightenment liberalism was a Christian philosophy.

Which is silly, because you can just establish the category by definition.

"First cause"
"Greatest good"
"What we worship"

I mean, this is mostly what they do. The main question that actually arises is whether these things can be calculated or not. Is there a meaningful "greatest" or "first"?

The God who promises theosis is the God who makes sense as the Father of Jesus.
