Right-wing British politician, analyst, and an architect of the United Kingdom’s withdraw from the European Union, Nigel Farage plunged the world in shock as he has accused Hungarian-American Billionaire George Soros of wanting to “break down the fundamental values” of Western societies and remove Christian values from Europe.
Nigel Farage told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that George Soros, famously known as a venture capitalist, business mogul, philanthropist, political activist, and author, “doesn’t want Europe to be based on Christianity.”
Soros’ organisation the Open Society Foundations says its purpose is to shore up “democracies promoting minority inclusion in policymaking, supporting good governance and accountability, advancing education and public health reform, and helping societies adjust to European integration.”
But its critics denounce it for funding various left-wing movements that threaten national sovereignty and conventional values.
Farage said,
“George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, which he poured billions of dollars into, I mean this is the biggest political campaigning organisation in the world. He wants to break down the fundamental values of our society. He doesn’t want Europe to be based on Christianity.‘
Soros’ group closed up a market in Hungary last month after repeated complaints by Prime Minister Viktor Orban that Soros was encroaching Hungarian politics by supporting opposition groups financially.
Orban also charged the EU, the UN and Soros of trying to force Hungary to take in thousands of mainly Muslim emigrants to abate its independence and its Christian identity and culture.
From Farage’s accusation, it can be established he is signifying that Soros is planning on de-Christianizing the West.
De-Christianizing or put openly, Secularisation is the metamorphosis of a society from close identification and affiliation with religious values and institutions toward nonreligious values and secular institutions.
Its thesis relates to the belief that as societies develop, principally through modernisation and rationalisation, religion surrenders its authority in all aspects of social life and governance.
More aggressively, in the French Revolution where it virtually occurred, revolutionaries engaged in “profanation of churches and tombs, the changing of religious personal names and place-names, the anticlerical masquerades, the forced abdication of priests, the celebration of festivals of Reason and of the Erté Supreme”.
