Democracy, as has been said of Christianity, has never really been tried.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We can't equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on earth is India, which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia, which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs.
Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.
Democracy without morality is impossible.
Democracy may have arisen in the West as the way of striving for the universal aspiration to dignity and freedom, but it isn't alien to the underlying concepts that infuse religion and moral philosophy everywhere.
Christianity is the root of all democracy, the highest fact in the rights of men.
Democracy is but an experiment in the long history of the world.
I have no idea if some societies, anthropologically speaking, aren't really suited for democracy. I don't think that's true.
Democracy is still a radical idea in a world where we often confuse images with realities, words with actions.
Of course democracy is good, but it is a process, not a prescription.
Democracy, pure democracy, has at least its foundation in a generous theory of human rights. It is founded on the natural equality of mankind. It is the cornerstone of the Christian religion. It is the first element of all lawful government upon earth.
