Christian or not, it bears repeating:
We believe deeply that the denial of "life's dark side in ourselves" is the key to what's wrong with the utopianist left world view.

Sissy Willis at sisu puts on her psychological hat in this excellent post.
Historically the belief in heaven and the belief in utopia are like compensatory buckets in a well: when one goes down the other comes up. When the classic religions decayed, communistic agitation rose in Athens (430 B.C.), and revolution began in Rome (133 B.C.); when these movements failed, resurrection faiths succeeded, culminating in Christianity; when, in our eighteenth century, Christian belief weakened, communism reappeared. In this perspective the future of religion is secure.
