In a series of programs, we discuss religion and current affairs with the Danish journalist and theologian, Iben Thranholm. She says that an intolerant, small atheist minority elite controls the European narrative and control the media and public narratives almost completely.
2-6 % in the world are atheists, yet in the current mainstream Western culture, they seem to have totalitarian dominion over the Western population. This is not by coincidence.
Thranholm also states that: “It has become a taboo to speak about religion due to this anti-religious ideology that claims that religion has no value. As long as we remain in this spiritual crisis, I don’t think Europe will be able to defeat Islam. The reason why Islam is so successful here is because we have a spiritual vacuum.”

The world is not only political but spiritual: “We are in a spiritual warfare and not just a political struggle, ” says Thranholm. She strongly criticizes the anti-religious, illiberal elites for not respecting our traditional faith. Watch the show here.
She states that Europe is in a deep, spiritual crisis as faith is subjugated, even if 75 % of the European population calls themselves Christians, not even counting the millions of European Muslims.
This stems from a New Left Marxist thinking, stating that the world would be a much better place without Christianity. This is what the European elites are pushing for.
