The Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard(1813-1855) charged Christendom with open hypocrisy.
He found that Christendoms Christianity was meaningless, existing in name only, while we live a life of paganism.
He wrote:
"Christianity of the New Testament variety does not exist in Christendom.
Christendom has not ventured defiantly or revolted openly against Christianity. Oh no! Rather she has hypocritically and knavishly done away with Christianity by falsifying the definition of what is Christian.
Christendom is playing Christianity, taking God for a fool!"
[Reference:He published a series of articles in the newspaper Fædrelandet and followed up with a periodical, which was called The Instant. ]
These are strong accusations.
What do you think moved him to take such a position?
