@Tfmonkey On your take regarding Christianity and orienting it towards a free society:
I do not have a hardened case to make it happen but I'm reading a book by famous French financial advisor Charles Gave titled "A liberal called Jesus".
It's an effort to use Christ's words and testimonies in the New Testament to build the case that Jesus is more individual reminded and incompatible with Socialism.
No English translations so I may provide you with a summary on my free time.
