Materialism's Dystopia

This little essay posted by the Acton Institute is an accessible summary of the perils of materialism as seen through the works of C.S. Lewis. We live in a schizophrenic society that lives off the benefits of a Judeo-Christian worldview or an anti-materialist perspective, but wants to believe that the "truth" about existence is materialism. Materialist "values" could never create a Western Civilization the very foundation for our comfortable, safe, and opinionated lives. Freedom, equality, and human rights can not come out of a materialist worldview. They come from Judeo-Christian ideas. Materialism leads to society's suicide.
