Freedom is not solely associated with the 'Christian' West.
The clash of civilisations hypothesis linking Western Christianity to freedom has been disproven in the age of Trump and Putin.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine challenges the idea of the West as Christendom and exposes threats from Russia and evangelical Christian support for Trump.
The concept of 'going west' holds a deep historical and symbolic significance, often associated with adventure, destiny, and challenges.
Traditionally seen as a place of opportunity, the West also carries connotations of death and finality, as portrayed in various cultures and historical events.
The duality of the West as a symbol of life and death highlights the complex and multifaceted nature of this concept.
