Pagan America: The Decline of Christianity and the Dark Age to Come Hardcover – March 26, 2024

Evil Is Coming – Worse than You Imagine

We live in an anxious age. Long-held certainties, cherished beliefs, and social trust are crumbling. Don’t expect things to get better. For too long we have taken our Christian heritage—the heritage upon which America was built—for granted. But we’re rapidly, and now inevitably, losing the Christian culture that shaped the American republic. What will take its place is a despotism—and a new paganism, worse than the old, because it will be based on a hatred of Christianity.

In his stunning new book, Pagan America, author John Daniel Davidson offers a stark but honest assessment of America’s future: “America as we know it will come to an end. Instead of a republic of free citizens, we will be slaves in a pagan empire.”

There is, he warns, no escape. We can only brace ourselves and prepare for a future when power will determine every relationship. Morality as we know it, as a Christian inheritance, will be forfeit, replaced by state-enforced “morality.” Violence will be common—doled out at the hand of an all-powerful state and its corporate allies.

There are hard times ahead, but we are not without hope. Christianity emerged within the confines of a pagan empire. Davidson shows how with courage, fortitude, and faith, it will be our duty and privilege to defend Christianity and restore its claims in what is likely to be a terrible and brutal dark age.

  1. Paganism, as Eliot saw it and as this book argues, imposes a moral relativism in which power alone determines right.

  2. This new society—call it pagan America—will be marked above all by oppression and violence, primarily against the weak and powerless, perpetrated by the wealthy and powerful.

  3. John Adams perfectly captured this notion in his famous line, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Editorial Reviews

Review

“If you’ve been consulting politics or economics to explain the moment we’re living in, you’ve been looking in the wrong place. It’s bigger and more fundamental than that. This is what paganism looks like.”
—Tucker Carlson, host of Tucker on X
 
“It’s become impossible in recent years to deny that we’re living on borrowed time in America. Our freedoms, rights, and entire way of life seem to be up for grabs. Why? In Pagan America, my Federalist colleague John Davidson makes a compelling case that the source of American liberty is the erstwhile Christian faith of its people. In the absence of that faith, we will revert to an older form of society, one in which power alone determines right, and the individual counts for nothing.”
—Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief, The Federalist
 
“John Davidson has written a compelling defense of Christian humanity against pagan cruelty. With a bloody-minded paganism rising once again in the West, this eloquent and learned book will arm the defenders of civilization against the forces of returning barbarism and tyranny.”
—Ryan Williams, president of the Claremont Institute
 
“As important as policy and politics are in reclaiming this nation, John Davidson reminds us of the most important factor—courage by people of faith. Pagan America is a gripping and persuasive account, not of some future problem, but of what we’re up against right now. This must-read book is the exhortation for Americans to know what’s at stake in our culture, our society, and, yes, our own homes.”
—Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation
 
“John Davidson is a serious man. He is serious about his faith. He is serious about his freedom, including especially his and other people’s freedom to worship as they please. He sees them in trouble. In this book he relates that trouble to the decline of our willingness to look up to God. He follows Jefferson, that the liberties of a nation find their firm basis in the conviction that they are the gift of God. They are that. John states that great truth powerfully. Our need to understand
it is urgent.”
—Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College
 
“What is it going to take to wake American Christians up to the soul-killing realities of our post-Christian country? If the electrifying Pagan America doesn’t do it, the church might as well be dead. John Davidson’s detailed, fact-filled report tracks the United States’ accelerating decline into paganism, and obliterates the happy-clappy
illusions that clergy and laity live by to justify their moral cowardice. This is a book for believers unseduced by the false counsel of winsomeness, and who refuse to go gently into the dark night enveloping America’s soul.”
—Rod Dreher, author, The Benedict Option and Live Not by Lies
