There’s a thread running through modern culture that most people don’t notice, mostly because we’ve been conditioned not to. It’s the strange alliance between secular progressivism and radical Islam. At first glance, it makes no sense. One group waves rainbow flags and preaches “love is love,” while the other enforces dress codes and executes those who deviate from traditional norms. One celebrates “women’s liberation,” while the other, in some nations, stones women to death for being seen in public without the right head covering. You’d think these two worldviews would be natural enemies. But they’re not. They’ve quietly found common cause in a single, dark conviction: anything but Christ.
That’s the spiritual war that too many Christians still fail to recognize. We’ve spent decades trying to fight battles in politics, in schools, and in the courts, while ignoring the real battlefield, the one raging in the spirit. Every major cultural fight we’re watching unfold, from gender confusion to the rewriting of moral standards, isn’t just political. It’s spiritual. And the unspoken alliance between secularism and radical Islam is proof of that.
The common denominator isn’t shared policy goals or economic interests. It’s shared rejection. Both systems are built on the same foundation: the denial of the lordship of Jesus Christ. Radical Islam rejects His divinity; secularism rejects His authority. The result? Two seemingly opposite ideologies shaking hands across the aisle of spiritual rebellion.
Let’s call it what it is, an unholy partnership of convenience. Secular progressives shout “tolerance” while cheering movements that openly despise the very values that gave them the freedom to shout in the first place. They parade under banners like “Queers for Palestine,” apparently blind to the fact that in Gaza or Tehran, the people they claim to support would be tortured or executed for their lifestyle. It’s not just hypocrisy, it’s a spiritual blindness that comes from rebellion against truth itself.
And this is where Christian Conservatives have got to wake up. We keep trying to play the world’s game by its rules. We debate statistics, quote laws, and argue economics, but this battle isn’t about any of that. It’s about truth versus deception, light versus darkness, Christ versus chaos. The reason progressivism can align with radical Islam and not break a sweat is that, at its root, neither worldview is built on the Gospel. Their shared hatred of Christianity is the glue that binds them together.
You can see this play out every day in the headlines. Christian teachers get fired for praying, but Muslim students get prayer rooms. Christian symbols get banned from schools, but Islamic headscarves are praised as “cultural expression.” Drag queens get city permits, but pastors get investigated. Every decision makes perfect sense when you realize the guiding principle: anything but Christ.
The American church, meanwhile, has spent far too long acting like these are just cultural misunderstandings. They’re not. They’re the visible fruit of an invisible war. Ephesians 6 wasn’t poetic filler; it’s the real framework of our world: “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness.” The enemy isn’t Washington or Hollywood. It’s the same serpent that whispered in Eden, now whispering through every movement that says, “You can be your own god.”
We have to start calling these things what they are. Progressivism isn’t just misguided; it’s militant secularism dressed up as compassion. Radical Islam isn’t just another faith; it’s a denial of the Son of God, weaponized into theocracies that crush liberty and life. And when those two forces find each other, the result is devastating for freedom, truth, and civilization itself.
But here’s the good news: the answer hasn’t changed. The only thing strong enough to stand against both the pride of secularism and the power of false religion is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Not watered-down, “seeker-friendly” Christianity. The real thing. The kind that doesn’t apologize for saying Jesus is the only way, not one of many.
The world may chant “anything but Christ,” but history tells us something different. Empires rise and fall. Ideologies burn out. But the name of Jesus still shakes nations, saves sinners, and silences kings. The spiritual war is real, but the victory has already been written. And no alliance, no rebellion, and no agenda can erase that.
So it’s time for believers to see the world for what it is, not just through the lens of politics, but through the eyes of faith. Because once you understand that everything is more spiritual than it looks, you stop being surprised by the alliances of darkness and start fighting them with the power of light.
