  1. You seriously need to do more reading around the history of ideas. A lot of your points are a bit of a mess, spiritualism was tied into liberal politics and clerics were very prominent in science dominant in education, you have to understand these groups better, their name isn't an insult, they were often opposed to each other politically and they both were very influential, the clerics of the development of knowledge and the spiritualists on the development of ideology. The 2000's new atheist stuff doesn't really fit in well to a period when the Church played an important role in scientific developments and there were atheistic socialists who wanted to castrate poor people. Your perspective is pretty off as you are being overly uncritical of James Linsays perspective, and to be frank his whole express purpose is to play a rearguard action for liberalism, he doesn't really care about things which don't service his narrative, even if you take for granted what he says as true, it doesn't accommodate any of the nuance outside of his purpose. What you are doing isn't too different from interpreting everything through the eyes of Marx's and missing the rest.

  2.  @JHouston62  I'd recommend the distributist for a Christian outlook on this as he's had recent livestreams on it. The Lotus Eaters website has a good summation of the false assumptions of liberalism. Those are probably the most condensed places to look, other than that it's mostly just reading lots of academic history, Kathrine Harvey's sex in the middle ages is a good book integrating more recent thinking but I don't know (doesn't mean it doesn't exist) of a compilation that would be helpful, same with theology, there are many great theologians but what they give is often a personal perspective more so than a useful explanation, I can only really recommend reading into subjects of interest as widely as possible and avoiding ideologues and the intellectually dishonest. The populist delusion by Parvini is a fairly good book about current political structures, as is the managerial revolution by Burnham, deeper than that and it gets into which denomination you are, Filmer's Patriarcha is still relevant to Anglican's, but not really to Calvinists, Catholics have a lot of more recent thinkers and Orthodox have the Russian classics. In terms of morality the Gulag Archipelago is almost required reading, colonialism by Biggar is good on Christian ethics. In terms of ideology Thomas Sowell's knowlege problem is very necessary, Leftism by Erik Ritter goes over some of the influential thinkers, but really to understand progressivism you have to look into Rousseau, as he is it's fountain, having come up with the vision of utopia they all seek. Rousseau basically inverted Christian morality and so one of the big issues in modern Christianity is that by accepting a liberal moral paradigm you are really accepting the presuppositional superiority of Satanism. Of course this is more complicated in America due to the greater acceptance of an earlier form of liberalism and a very different religious context (one which was and is less political and more diverse, including some groups with theology that is flexible enough to coexist with clear contradictions, often even before contact with outside contradictions, the extreme end of the nonconformists basically). Though I'm focused mainly on theology these day's I can't recommend many teachers as I'm largely ignorant, don't know your denomination and mine is currently imploding due to apostates having taken over the hierarchy. I do highly recommend Apostolic Majesty here on youtube, he's probably the best history channel on here.
