I am saying that the notion of the Enlightenment as a simple intellectual emancipation from the Christian religion is far too simplistic a narrative. As I said before, "the secular" itself is a product of the Christian imagination.
Modernity is in some senses the Christian mind in a fun house mirror. But that too would suggest that modernity is merely a distortion of Christianity- another narrative I also reject.
I am by no means trying to corner you into Christianity, but trying to emphasize that the West as it stands in its modern era is in significant debt to the history of Christian thought. The Christian religion set the West out on the path that it is still treading. Is it a wonder that secular humanism is itself a derivative of the Christian humanism of the 15th century? That it too holds up agape as the primary virtue, and is itself a kind of pruned Christian moralism? Or that individualism emerges in the society which declared man to be in the imago Dei, abolished the letter of the law for the law of the heart, produced sola scriptura, beheld a God who "knew you and knit you in your mother's womb", and whose central religious doctrine was, for centuries, the condenscing of divinity into a human individual?
On the flip side, I don't think Christianity can simply beseige itself in the past, but is also called to recognize its own self in the social, political and philosophical developments of the last centuries- to confront them and even to, in some sense, adopt them.
In my opinion, Christianity has contained in itself all along the seeds of its own criticism. It has the potential to be both radically conservative and revolutionary. It is the only religion, as Chesterton said, where God seemed for a moment to be an atheist (in Christ's "my God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?")
