I loved Butterfield’s book on her conversion and I’m practically cheering at the points you’ve recorded her making, as a former pro-LGBT atheist/agnostic with a progressive feminist upbringing. I believe sometimes it takes those who have lived outside of comfortable Christian culture entering into the faith with a foundation in historical, orthodox Christianity to expose this -- it grows more clear to me over the years that the state of our society can in many ways be attributed to Christians complying with the modern lie that faith in the God of the Bible is a personal matter that has no business influencing the public realm. Postmodernism has undoubtedly filled this vacuum left by the receding influence of the Church.
