The American Mind: How Based Thou Art
Young intellectuals on the Right have shifted significantly over the past two decades, moving from a predominantly libertarian and secular viewpoint to embracing serious religious faith, particularly Catholicism.

As a result, today's young right-wing thinkers are increasingly viewing religion not as a relic of the past but as a vital tool for personal development and societal rebuilding. Influenced by figures like Jordan Peterson, they are seeking to cultivate virtue and resilience in the face of modern challenges, aiming to strengthen families and communities through a renewed commitment to faith.
