Summary

This week's episode engages an article by moral theologian, Luke Bretherton of Oxford, who suggests that the recent swath of conversions by public intellectuals like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Paul Kingsnorth, and flirtations with Christianity by figures like Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray and Luise Perry are best understood as idolatrous pseudo-conversions which are more about preserving Western Culture than his brand of genuine Christianity, which is anti-fascist, anti-racist, and working tirelessly for democracy. The pugs are not convinced. And they show a host of reasons why.
