This is an excellent article. However, I have some questions.: What do you mean by “natural order” when you speak about conservatives, liberals, and illiberalism? And are you only referring to democracies in countries with a predominately Christian population? In case, you’re not just referring to predominately Christian cultures but also to predominately Muslim cultures, the “natural order” in those would probably look quite different. Can there be/Are there any truly democratic countries with a Muslim majority (if it’s not fundamentalist), or is that totally impossible due to the lack of separation of mosque and state? Is there even are true separation of church and state in all predominately Christian countries? After all, religions still do influence some politicians.
