The politics of the anti-Christian will thus inescapably be the politics of guilt. In the politics of guilt, man is perpetually drained in his social energy and cultural activity by his over-riding sense of guilt and his masochistic activity. He will progressively demand of the state a redemptive role. What he cannot do personally, i.e. to save himself, he demands that the state do for him, so that the state, as man enlarged, becomes the human Savior of man.” - R. J. Rushdoony, Politics of Guilt and Pity
