Dilbert’s Wager

Niall Ferguson recently discussed his conversion to Christianity. He expressed hope for a Christian revival, which he framed as the best antidote to the Great Awokening that has done so much damage to our societies. He also speculated that Christianity offers meaning to those who feel adrift in our secular age. People would be happier if they went to church. Ferguson’s wife, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, has also converted. In a widely read column at Unherd, she underscored the civilizational importance of upholding “the legacy of the Judeo-Christian tradition.”
