Reclaiming Sci-fi
“Science fiction is nothing more than a propaganda tool for humanist progressive ideology.” The above, while not an exact quote, has been repeated in one form or another by both Christians stating why they don’t read science fiction and progressive apologists praising science fiction activism. I’ve seen it weaponized by both sides against conservatives who dare to enjoy science fiction properties while still holding to traditional values. In fact, some popular fandoms go so far as to state that you can’t be a true fan if you don’t espouse the ideologies promoted by the franchise. My philosophy is different. I believe that any genre can be reclaimed for a Christian worldview. We absolutely can have Christian science fiction. And I was determined to prove it.
