Christianity and Wokeism: Ideological brothers
Rather than detail many paragraphs of evidence, I've found the best method of fully articulating this point is through a direct comparison of the two religions in tabular format.
This list is presented with the more important, central arguments at the top, and the less impactful arguments at the end.

| The Principle | Christianity | Progressivism |
|---|---|---|
| Human nature is a problem to be solved. Without continual, conscious effort (and struggle), human nature leads humans to be basically bad. | Humans are inherently sinful (corruptible, evil, wicked) [Romans 3:23]. Our nature condemns our immortal souls. We should strive to resist our wicked natural impulses as obedient believers [Galatians 5:17]. | Human nature is inherently bigoted. Instinctive in-group preference is problematic. Even infants display racial and ethnic preference, indicating bigotry is an innate sinful condition. We should strive to resist our instincts in the name of inclusion. |
| Humans are born defective. Our very state as humans, irrespective of our actions, condemns us. | All humans inherit the guilt of the so-called "original sin." The passive nature of this guilt is described as being "born into sin" [Psalms 51:5, Romans 5:12]. Humans are described as incapable of making moral and ethical choices independently, and salvation is mandatory for people to be capable of good [Romans 7:18]. All sin is equally damning [James 2:10]; all are equally sinful [Romans 3:10]. | All humans inherit the guilt of their ancestors. The passive nature of this guilt is described as being "born into privilege." The more "oppressive" your ancestry is determined to have been, the more guilt you carry, and the more effort you are expected to contribute to the global socioeconomic equalization of the world's masses through wealth and land redistribution. |
| Follow the plan of salvation. Once you recognize your defective nature, you are obliged to seek the required salvation from your nature. | Recognize your sinful (corruptible, evil, wicked) nature [Ephesians 4:22], dedicate the rest of your life to rejecting your nature [Romans 7:24], and actively work to convert as many people to the ideology as you can [Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15]. | Recognize your role in perpetuating systems of oppression, dedicate the rest of your life to rejecting your oppressive nature, and actively work to convert as many people to the ideology as you can. The strongest iteration of this in wokeism has been the antiracist movement, which characterized racial discrimination against whites as a moral imperative to benefit everyone else, and aggressively evangelized its message, including in the (supposedly) secular workplace. |
| Unbelievers are immoral. Those who reject the ideology are necessarily viewed as the enemy. | If you hear the gospel and refuse its salvation message, you will burn in hell forever (or face annihilation) [2 Thessalonians 1:8]. Anyone who voluntarily rejects the gospel message is characterized as being foolish and dark [Romans 1:21], selfish and evil [Romans 2:8], and willfully ignorant [2 Thessalonians 2:10]. Christians are exhorted by Jesus to hate even family members who refuse the gospel message [Matthew 10:37, Luke 14:26]. | If you hear the message and refuse its veracity and imposed obligations, you are an evil (racist, bigoted, fascist) person who no longer has the right to exist in peace. Followers are exhorted by their leaders and role models to fully reject family members who refuse to join the cause. |
| Truth is absolute. Challenging the principles is not permitted. The principles are statements of absolute truth. | There is only one truth, and it is the word of god, also known as the Christian bible. All other claims of truth are necessarily malicious deception from the devil [2 Corinthians 11:14, 2 Timothy 2:26]. Christians are discouraged from relying on their own rational, logical intellect, and encouraged to accept scripture as truth without question [Proverbs 3:5-6]. Challenging the absolute and eternal authority of the founders of the Jewish race (Moses and Abraham) is regarded as "depraved" [2 Timothy 3:8]. | There is only one truth, and it is the orthodoxy, which has many scriptures, but possesses clearly consistent principles in its view of the human condition and the solutions to the problems it presents. Challenging the orthodoxy's principles is not permitted, as evidenced by the aggressive social "canceling" and ostracization that is repeatedly inflicted on anyone who deviates from the hive mind. |
| Everyone is the same inside, so equity is inevitable. All differences are superficial. We're all the same "on the inside," regardless of apparent differences. External differences must be erased, as a reflection of our internal sameness. | All are "made in god's image" [Genesis 1:27, Genesis 5:1, 1 Corinthians 11:7]. All humans are equally slave to, and under the power of, our sinful nature [John 8:34, Romans 6:6, Romans 6:20]. Sin makes us all equal in the eyes of the creator of the world, which means our differences are ultimately immaterial. All who are saved are equally saved; there are no meaningful differences between believers [1 Corinthians 12:13, Galatians 3:28]. Scripture encourages Christians to engage in practical equity, primarily through voluntary wealth redistribution [Matthew 5:42, 2 Corinthians 9:5, 2 Corinthians 9:7]. Alleviating poverty, even to one's own impoverishment, is highly regarded [Luke 12:33]. | All humans are essentially identical. Race and sex are social constructs; there are no meaningful differences between races, or between the two sexes. National borders are immoral, since all humans are equal. Practically speaking, socioeconomic equity is of paramount importance, and is achieved through a combination of wealth redistribution and mass migration of the very poor from the third world to the developed world, which is a form of land redistribution. |
| Sovereign nations are social constructs. Since everyone is the same inside, there's no real reason for ethnic groups. Ethnic differences only serve to divide and cause conflict, so in the name of world peace and harmony, these differences must be erased. | The god of the bible literally spells out that nations are manmade vanity, "emptiness" and "meaninglessness" in his eyes [Isaiah 40:17, Daniel 4:35]. The promised messianic utopia will be a single, global kingdom ruled by Jesus Christ [Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 25:31, Revelation 1:6]. There is only one nation - the global Christian community. Through Christian salvation, all are kin of Abraham, the patriarch of the Jewish people [Romans 9:8, Galatians 3:29, Ephesians 2:16, Ephesians 3:6]. | All national borders are grossly immoral and a violation of the world's collective "human rights." Nations are the product of greed and selfishness, and have no right to exist. Global mass migration is a moral imperative to ensure equity. |
| The doctrine is global and universal. There is one truth and doctrine for the whole world. | Christianity declares the whole world damned [Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12], and it presents itself as the only solution for the whole world [John 1:7, John 3:16, Romans 5:18]. Christians view themselves as part of the "chosen nation" - that is, the global Christian community [Romans 9:8, Galatians 3:29, Ephesians 2:16, Ephesians 3:6]. Christians have long engaged in "missionary work," which is the practice of traveling to unknown parts of the world to teach the people there to abandon their own ethnic spirituality in the name of the One True Religion [Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15]. | The rejection of national borders and ethnically-linked nations of people makes the globalist nature of wokeism self-evident. Identification with one's ethnicity and race is aggressively discouraged in white nations. Mass global migration is lionized and sanctified, and public policy is used to forcibly relocate nonwhite immigrant populations to small, racially homogenous, white communities throughout the white world (i.e. North America, Europe, and Australia). |
| History must be erased and rewritten. If historical record provides evidence refuting the veracity of the absolute truths established by the religion, the historical record must be changed. | Every aspect of northern European culture and mythology has been Christianized. What couldn't be Christianized was discarded. What little record remains suggests white Europeans were not pathologically degenerate and savage. The Germanic influences on medieval Christianity make clear the religion's claims of man's total depravity were not compelling to northern Europeans, which is why it had to be reworked as a religion for warriors, rather than slaves. | We are watching this happen in realtime, as our public school classrooms are teaching our children an alternate American history that is based on wokeism's fallacious damnation of the human species, rather than on a record of the events as they transpired. |
| The old religion must be destroyed, so the people don't revert to their ethnic ways. This is primarily seen through the desecration of all manner of sacred sites, buildings, and artifacts. | Christians infamously desecrated many Greco-Roman pagan statues and monuments, declaring the gods those statues represented to be primitive and dead. In Germania, sacred trees were chopped down, and sacred groves were incinerated, all in the name of the Christian god. Many relics were burnt in great bonfire celebrations of the desecration and destruction of the old religions Christianity forcibly replaced. | This, too, can be watched in realtime. Many monuments throughout the white world - in both North America and Europe - have been permanently removed and destroyed. There have been public celebrations of these cultural atrocities, since the men immemorialized have been declared apostate and evil (racist and bigoted), and our children are taught to intentionally forget them. |
| A globalist utopia is the ultimate goal. Uniting the world in peace and harmony is a central promise of both religions. | The book of Revelation describes the end of the world. After the end of Armageddon, Jesus Christ is prophesied to return and rule as the literal king of the world for one thousand years [Revelation 20:4], headquartered in Jerusalem. | Although classical Marxist communism has fallen by the wayside in wokeism, the ultimate goal of the average wokie is to achieve world peace and harmony through unity. Marxism seeks to establish this through wealth redistribution at the global scale. |
| The world is on a linear collision course with obliteration. The end of the world is imminent, and warning others of this crisis is important. Humanity's flawed state is a central factor in why the world is ending. | The entire book of Revelation in the Christian new testament is a description of the end of the world. Humanity's innate and hardwired predisposition for committing acts of evil will eventually result in the necessary total destruction of the world as it is. This event is always right around the corner, and is declared inevitable and unavoidable. | The "climate change" narrative is effectively the left's Armageddon prophecy. Man's inherent wickedness - as evidenced by our poor treatment of the planet - will eventually result in the destruction of the whole world. The only real solution to save the planet is to destroy humanity, who can no longer be trusted to preserve Earth. |
Introduction
One of the most important things to remember as you peruse this list: scripture says what it says. If you have a problem with what's listed here, understand that I have not relied on any subjective "interpretation" or "contextualization" of scripture. The messages in the bible are extraordinarily clear, and contrary to common apologetic insistence, the Greek manuscripts used as the source material for the majority of the new testament scriptures are not remotely ambiguous in meaning. Words like "hate" and "slave" and "equal" mean what you think they mean, and Jesus was not using a euphemism when he told his followers to hate their own family in his name.
If you have to engage in a complex web of semantic arguments that rely on incomprehensibly "nuanced" definitions of the words used in scripture, it's time to admit you're no different from modern leftist academics, who write long, wordy essays arguing in favor of white people voluntarily submitting to our own annihilation. The messages in the bible are not ambiguous, and certainly do not require college-level coursework to comprehend. Stop defaulting to the defense that the text doesn't mean what it says in its plain words.
If the implications of what's presented here make you deeply uncomfortable and lead you into a personal spiritual crisis, know that this is not a bad thing, and you will get through it. There are many like me lurking out there on the Internet - people who were raised Christian, who never really emotionally internalized it as The Truth™, and finally realized that the earliest eras of this religion were functionally no different from the progressive hell we're trying to escape today. We've been through the crisis. We understand. We empathize. It's strange and unnerving to realize a core component of your basic understanding of your reality is built on ever-increasing lies and deceptions, but if you're reading this, I'm certain you already possess the intellectual capacity to understand you were played, and it's now time to decide to do something about it, instead of remaining permanently invested in a false religion that has only ever served the interests of the worst kind of power and people.
It's time for the truth to prevail. Regardless of how worldview-shattering it may be for people to finally accept that there is no legitimate form of globalist, universalist ideology, that is simply the truth. You aren't evil, and humans are not measured by a binary metric of "perfectly good" and "perfectly evil". Your imperfect nature is a gift which enables you to survive and thrive, not a flaw which damns your soul to eternal punishment of any kind. Your instincts are not problematic, bigoted, or destructive. Your instincts are the key to your continued survival, as proven by the plain fact that humans have managed to survive for countless millennia - long before Christianity taught us to abhor our nature and promote the idea that our own minds will mislead us, and we must always defer to a "higher authority" throughout our entire lives without question or resistance.
You were not created by a genocidal psychopath who used the worst people imaginable to establish his dominion over the whole world, and your life is not a cosmic shit-test to determine your fate in the afterlife. You were born to live, not to die, including spiritually. There is no "death to self" in the path of your life, because life will never be found in death. Death is not liberation into a new life; it is only death. The life you have is a precious gift, not a terrible burden meant to determine your fate in the afterlife. These are truths, and if you ask me, the idea that I'm not worthless is a lot more conducive to my continued survival than the idea that I am worthless.
You don't have to keep accepting any of Christianity's lies. You will not be smited if you reject this religion. It will not condemn you to hell. Rejecting the worst mind virus in recorded history - the very same mind virus Christians are fighting today - is the single most liberating thing you can do for yourself in your entire existence on this beautiful planet.
