One of Thiel's intellectual mentors was Rene Girard.

Thiel has a Girardian worldview, at least in part.

Say what you want about Thiel, but Girard is one of the most influential Christian thinkers of the modern era.

Fascinating I live in a country were nobody has been thinking about Christianity since the 1960s. It's like Americans speak an entirely different language.

Your ancestors thought about Christianity plenty for about 1500 years.

which country?

Would guess Netherlands based on their posting history. The Netherlands are roughly 38% Christian, compared to roughly 74% of the US.

You may like Girard. I recommend his 5 part series on youtube.
