Christian democracy is a political ideology that seeks to apply Christian principles to public policy. It emerged in nineteenth-century Europe under the influence of conservatism and Catholic social teaching. It continues to be influential in Europe and Latin America, though in a number of countries its Christian ethos has been diluted by secularisation. In practice, Christian democracy is often considered conservative on cultural, social and moral issues (social conservatism) and progressive on fiscal and economic issues. In Europe, where their opponents have traditionally been secularist socialists, Christian democratic parties are moderately conservative overall, whereas in the very different cultural and political environment of Latin America they tend to lean to the left. Examples of Christian democratic parties include the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Christian Democrat Party of Chile, and the Christian Democratic People's Party of Switzerland.

Christianity was long ago the forerunner of democracy as it made all people equal and gave everyone a voice Answered by Paul Grass - Thu Jun 18 06:40:53 2009 Democracy is anti-Christian? Q. Agree? Democracy ultimately started with Satan. Satan and thousands of angels, existing in the kingdom of God, wanted to be LIKE God. This means they wanted to rule over themselves like God did. By trying to rule themselves, they broke the rules of God, and thus God cast them out of His kingdom. Agree? Asked by Bajingo - Tue Jul 1 07:51:18 2008 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, I personally agree with the fact that democracy is anti-Christian The reason that I make this statement is I believe that true Christianity is ruled by God and not ruled by man as in democracy !

Q. ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ I may be blindly missing it, but nowhere in the Bible have I found any support for a representative democracy with three branches of government. This model seems entirely based on secular principles, but I'm willing to be proved wrong. Please enlighten me where this form of government stems from Biblical standards. ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ Asked by NH Baritone - Mon Nov 5 18:19:31 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. If God believed in democracy, then He would have called for an election when Lucifer challenged Him. Apparently, He didn't think He had a very good shot at winning.
