The Theoevolutionary Church (TC) affirms evolution but it does not affirm Liberalism. The ideas of liberalism, developed in the Enlightenment, eg. the idea that each individual is completely free, that human nature is perfect, and that man’s human reason is as good as it gets, are not fully affirmed by TC.
Unlike the Traditionalists we see human nature evolving toward a higher and higher nature, human nature is not perfect and thus we are subject to change.
Man is not completely autonomous, as the liberals suggest. We are created with a nature that has a purpose–Godhood’s purpose. We obey the laws of Godhood when we obey the laws of nature, which including the ultimate evolution to Godhood.
Secular democracy, government from below rather than from above, is not the end of all political systems. The state could protect religion. None the less, light federalism, subsidiarity, and localism are the preferred political system.
This is not liberalism.
