Nccl: Augustine At The End Of Christendom

The West was under the rule of Christendom for up to one and a half a millennia after Augustines City of God was written, but this appears to have drawn to a close. Where society and rulers submitted to God, now an impersonal state presides over a society which has moved from community and custom to contract and self-interest. Is our present secular society still informed by Christian values and Christian civilisation (Tom Holland, in Dominium), or do we actually live in a post-Christian society? A revived far Right has even linked the idea of a Christian civilisation to claim that multiculturalism and immigration threatens civilisational erasure. In addressing these problems, are the arguments of Augustines City of God still relevant?
