Wokeism is a Christian Heresy

Phil Mitchell • March 7, 2026

The Prophets of "woke" have Christian underpinnings but have departed terribly.

I have argued repeatedly in my videos and blogs that Progressive Leftist politics is a religious cult, specifically a Christian cult. It’s basic ideas arise from Christian doctrine. In a recent essay Nigel Biggar, a British academic, agrees with me. He says woke advocates believe in the Christian doctrine of uplifting the poor, caring for the downtrodden. But they deviate from Christianity in that they believe themselves morally superior creatures in no need of correction or restraint. They are confident of their own moral virtue and their right to tear down and destroy everyone who disagrees with them. He adds, “Instead of behaving as if they were subject to God and his moral requirements, ‘woke’ prophets conduct themselves like little gods, subject to none but themselves, tyrannical and merciless.” They are able to criticize the sins of Western culture without thanking God for the blessings that culture has provided. The very culture that has given them the rich lives they enjoy. They epitomize Romans 1:21. Although they knew God they did not thank or honor Him.

That’s why they have become fools and have no chance of building a culture of their own. They can only foul their own nest.
