The social order has been, but not only, politics but also religion. Each has its roles, but different countries live differently by their adherence to these two different social orders.
The ideal is that to make a secular government that has a social binding, like the "social contract," a contract consists of obligations that are chosen by the people, i.e. it is self-chosen; obligatory because I choose it.

Family structure as a loyalty, culture of repudiation, feminism, Marxism, the postmodernists, the dwindling of the Enlightenment vision and, as a consequence of that downdling, the emergence of a society on which relativistic on matters of truth and dethrones reason for the sake of rejecting "Western values". Very, very enlightening. This book is already a masterpiece.

National identity is, with secular law and territorial jurisdiction, what makes the modern state as we now know. There is an organic evolution happening, and this national identity is a some kind of unity that is needed: to change course to the political, there has to be a precedence that unifies the various peoples. That is, there has to be a pre-political loyalty positioned before secularization.

The Christian legacy is there in the political order. While secular law and territorial sovereignty are needed, the virtue of forgiveness is actually a contributing one. Why? This virtue cuts right to the problem of societies meeting each other, that of the problem of scapegoating. Scapegoating is an organic process, and this process is stopped when the victim anticipates the violence laid to him by this virtue.
