CHRISTIANITY AND DEMO CRACY speaking of this effort to rout out religion in the totalitarian State, Thomas Mann, the distin- guished exile from Nazi Germany, has recently said: “It is not bv chance that this a5- gression i; aimed not only against democracy, but, with equal fury, against Christianity itself. For these two concepts are so ciosely bound together, they are united to such an extent, that democracy may be called the political expression of our Christian feeling for life, of Christianity on earth. And we may conclude from the close relation- ship of democracyy and Christian- ity, not that they will disappear to- gamer, but that they will survive to- ne er." -wlthout "d . , ance as one of the cardinal virtues stands noon uncertain ground.
