They say it takes 40 or so people to pay for one retiree through the so-called 'compact b/w generations' a.k.a. Social Security pay-go Mutual/Trust Fund in America. How many Christians do you think it takes to maintain the unity of our liberal republican state per pagan? I'd say it probably depends on the strength of the pagan's recusancy v. the opposing strength of the Christians' [self]-sacrifice and stalwartness. Of course we must consider the 'whole is greater than the sum of its parts' principle (in both cases).

Recusancy refers to petty self-empowerment at the expense of unity in the form of political pressure groups in the USA (and abroad). We can't have a civil order w/o mutual self-sacrifice. And individualism cannot be sustained w/o shared values. For the record.
