A point that I like to remind the listeners and viewers when this topic comes up, let's think back to William F. Buckley Jr., the founder of National Review. He founded National Review in the 1950s. Literally before he even founded National Review, he wrote a book called God and Man at Yale. It was the first book that Buckley ever published. He wrote that shortly after he graduated from Yale.
