Every social order is a confessional social order. This is to say that the social order in question will adhere to and publicly confession a belief system that is the oil that lubricates the gears of the social order system in question. This is inescapably true of all social orders. All social orders are reflections of that social order’s public confession and the social order’s public confession will always be hopelessly religious.
Because the preceding is true then it is necessary to say that when a social-order changes it is because the public confession of that social order has first changed. This pushes us then to note that when we talk about “the secular West,” we are even at that point confessing one aspect of the West’s religious public confession which is that Christianity will not be allowed to be our public confession. However, by using the word “secularization” to describe that change we are really talking about both a public de-confessionalizing of Christianity in favor of a public re-confessionalizing of some other faith system that will be the lubricant for our social order existence. This is just another way of saying that all social orders are hopelessly religious and when a social order changes it does not change into a non-religious public confession social order but rather it changes to a new religious public confession social order. The fact that the word religion itself means “to bind” goes a long way in establishing all this. Religion as a social-order confession binds a people together.
The fact that in the West our social order confession has changed so that the West has been de-confessionalized away from Christianity and re-confessionalized to Holocaustianity is captured by a quote from British Textual Critic Robert Faurisson
“The six million constitute a lay religion with its own dogma, commandments, decrees, prophets, high priests and Saints: Saint Anne (Frank), Saint Simon (Wiesenthal), Saint Elie (Wiesel). It has its holy places, its rituals, and its pilgrimages. It has its temples and its relics (bars of soap, piles of shoes, etc.), its martyrs, heroes, miracles, and miraculous survivors (millions of them), its golden legend and its righteous people. Auschwitz is its Golgotha; Hitler is its Satan. It dictates its law to the nations. Its heart beats in Jerusalem, at the Yad Vashem monument … Although it is largely an avatar of the Hebraic religion, the new religion is quite recent and has exhibited meteroic growth … Paradoxically, the only religion to prosper today is the ‘Holocaust’ religion — ruling (so to speak) supreme and having those skeptics who are openly active cast out from the rest of mankind. It labels them ‘deniers’, whilst they call themselves ‘revisionists.’

With the changing of religion in the West to Holocaustianity the social-order public confession has also changed with the result even that if someone is to be a believer and practitioner in Christianity they must reinterpret that Christianity through the grid of Holocaustianity in order to operate peacefully with the new social order public confession.
One only needs to reflect a moment to realize the obvious truth of all this. There was a time in this country where violating public blasphemy laws by taking the name of Jesus Christ in vain would get one arrested. Similarly, there was a time in this country when much of the nation was shut down on Sundays in order to “honor the Sabbath to keep it Holy.” These realities were derivative of the social-order public confession that was Christianity. However, today in many European lands it is against the law to question the Holocaust. Further any noting of the faults or history of a certain tribe are sure to find one being labeled a “Anti-Semite,” and thus likely experiencing cancel culture. This all indicates that the new social-order public confession is Holocaustianity and that the previous social-order public confession that was Christianity is now passé.
We see thus that for any social order there must be a public confession and that social-order public confession operates along religious lines to bind the social order together. This then has the implication that all notions of social-order authority is derivative of the confession and religion from which that social-order descends. We also see thus far that the idea that the West embraces pluralism is a myth. Ask David Irving or Ernst Zundel or Robert Faurisson if pluralism existed in the social-orders of which they were members.
Pluralism is the cover that is used to hide the de-confessionalization and re-confessionalization process. Pluralism is invoked in order to hide from the citizens of a social order that they are being placed against a new religious context that will require a new social order public confession. Invoking pluralism allows the change process to be incremental and un-noticeable until to late. Once the de-confessionalization and re-confessionalization process is completed suddenly the citizen will discover that pluralism is not to be allowed. We are seeing that today in the West with the ever increasing speech codes.
All of this underscores what the presuppositionalists have been saying for decades now and that is “there is no such thing as neutrality.” Social-orders like people with either gather with Christ or they will scatter. Social-orders like people are either for Christ or they are against Christ. There is no neutrality.
Let me emphasize again here the nub of the matter. There is no secularization process that the West is experiencing. None in the least. What the West has experienced over the last 75 years or so has been the constant drip of social-order de-confessionalization and social-order re-confessionaliziation. Put more simply, Christianity as the public religion of the West has been replaced with the religion of Holocaustianity.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Sounds like your saying much the same thing as ‘the forbidden philosopher’.
“A vague religious idea … will not lead to that practical faith into which inner religious yearning is transformed, [but] only when it leaves the sphere of general metaphysical ideas and is molded into a well-defined belief. Such a belief is not an end in itself, but the means to an end. Yet it is means without which the end could never be reached at all. … We must always bear in mind the fact that, generally speaking, the highest ideals are always the outcome of some profound vital need. … Take from humanity … religious beliefs … that serve as moral standards in practical life, and abolish religious teaching without replacing it by anything of equal value, and the foundation of human existence would be seriously shaken. … Man does not live merely to serve higher ideals, but these ideals, in their turn, furnish the necessary conditions for his existence as a human being.
All these ideals, no matter how firmly the individual believes in them, may be critically analyzed by any person, and accepted or rejected accordingly, until the emotional concept or yearning has been transformed into an active force that is governed by a clearly defined doctrinal faith. Such a faith constitutes the militant feature which clears the way for the recognition of fundamental religious ideals. Without a clearly defined belief, religious feeling would not only be worthless for purposes of human existence, but might even contribute towards general disorganization, on account of its various and multifarious tendencies.” p. 260.
