“I think it is a doctrine of demons,” Lucas Miles, pastor of Nfluence Church in Granger, Indiana, told The Daily Signal Podcast at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Orlando on Monday. “I mean, its intention is to divide people.”

He warns that “woke Christianity” or “progressive Christianity” or “the Christian Left” boils down to a false version of the faith, tracing back to a Marxist substructure” that reframes the faith in terms of oppressors and oppressed.

“But wokeism, it’s antithetical to Christianity,” Miles said. …

Not only does the leftist perspective often advocate for the erosion of the nuclear family and the promotion of LGBT lifestyles that conflict with the moral teachings of Scripture, but it robs Christianity of proper discipleship.

[Wokeism, as Adam Baldwin and I discuss in next week’s Amiable Skeptics episode, takes the wrong lessons from Genesis and presume that we are gods with the power to reorder creation. It also places the material above the spiritual as determinative. — Ed]
