Sir Niall Ferguson

I have a view which is that we're probably in the very early phase of a Christian revival.

I very much hope that will be the case.

I look around me in England where I'm spending a lot of time and I think

how many unhappy people there are who would be so much happier if they only went to church on a Sunday and opened their hearts to Christ.

It's that simple.

I found in the end that atheism was not a basis for a meaningful life and certainly not for a happy family life.

And so I and my wife recently were baptized and are now practicing and devout Christians.

And it has made a profound change to my life.

That's right.

I never really questioned my atheism until I had kids myself.

And then I remember thinking, I'm not sure that I'm just going to make them good people by example.

They really do need to know about Christianity.

I think I came to the historical conclusion that religion was good, so I began to go to church, not with any religious faith, but thinking that it would be good for my children and broadly good for society if more families went to church.

But then more recently, I understood one can't live without religious faith, that one can't be happy, that one can't feel a true sense of purpose, one can't know the real difference between good and evil.

without god and so i was baptized well not long ago september the first 2024 along with my wife ayan hirsi ali a former muslim former atheist and our two sons this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people

How would you characterize this new Trump doctrine?

If you just follow the more bombastic things that the administration does, laying claim to Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal, you think it's American empire.

But inside the Oval Office,

To go full tariff man, to close the southern border, those things will have meaningful costs for American households.

And so by the end of the year, even more people than currently will be saying, what do we vote for?
