The United States where Christians, and particularly Born Again Protestants or Evangelicals are the most numerous and yield considerable clout, is also secularizing fast, as a result of ideological and technological transformations that partly reflect the rapid influx of other religions and ways of life. The supremacy of consumeristic materialism has played havoc in recent decades with the Old American Bible-based Creed which has also, paradoxically been challenged by a dominant Jewish agnostic lobby that does not always hide its hostility to Christianity and its preference for an atheistic or at least multi-cultural society devoid of religious identity.

Russia is perhaps the only Christian state, on the level of a world power, which acknowledges the founding role of its national Church because even the USA has no official denomination and equally recognizes many different forms of "Bible-based" faith while Britain, Germany and Brazil and other important countries are drifting away from their traditional state creeds in the name of agnosticism, pluralism and individual freedom.

C- ARCHAEO-FUTURISM

Under that label, seemingly coined by French futurist and "dissident thinker" Guillaume Faye, we can regroup all those socio-political and economic projects which borrow from the past and try to integrate it with the current realities and especially the scientific and technical breakthroughs that are reshaping reality in an transformed planetary and intellectual context. Thereby we can also avoid the pitfall into which the votaries of "deep ecology" fall by becoming biocentric to the point of sacrificing the survival of civilization and even most of the human race to the supremacy of wild and unspoilt nature.
