"We must realize that the Reformation world view leads in the direction of government freedom. But the humanist world view with inevitable certainty leads in the direction of statism. This is so because humanists, having no god, must put something at the center, and it is inevitably society, government, or the state."
Francis Schaeffer was an American evangelical theologian, philosopher, and Presbyterian pastor. He founded the L'Abri community in Switzerland and wrote widely on Christianity and culture.
