Can Canada Survive Without Christianity?
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Dr. David Haskell
Dr. David Haskell, professor, researcher and author of Christ or Collapse: The Case Against Godless Government, examines what happened as Canada and the West moved away from their Christian foundations. Drawing on 20 years of research, he makes the case that Christian values aren't simply matters of faith—they produce measurable benefits for individuals and nations. From multiculturalism and moral relativism to libertarianism and the shrinking space for Christianity in public life, Haskell argues that restoring the principles that once shaped Canada may be essential to its future.
