Secularists are worried; all is not well. Richard Dawkins in particular is deeply distressed and disturbed. A wave of high-profile Christian conversions is beginning to gather momentum, and he’s worried about it.
Secularism only has one lens through which it perceives and assesses things; it peers or squints through the prism of politics and power. Because of the shock of this wave of conversions, some critical articles have been written trying to explain the phenomenon politically. The way they do so is to construct a conspiracy theory that the “radical right” is in the process of hijacking Christianity, and in particular Catholicism, for its own nefarious political ambitions.
