We learn of a growing desire for a Christian party, a Christian front, or a Christian platform in politics....Whatever it calls itself, it will represent, not Christendom, but a part of Christendom. The principle which unites it to its political allies will not be theological....There will be a real and most disastrous novelty. It will be not simply a part of Christendom, but a part claiming to be the whole. By the mere act of calling itself the Christian Party it implicitly accuses all Christians who do not join it of apostasy and betrayal. It will be exposed, in an aggravated degree, to that temptation which the Devil spares none of us at any time - the temptation of claiming for our favourite opinions that kind and degree of certainty and authority which really belongs only to our faith. -- C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock
