Return of the Strong Gods: Nationalism, Populism, and the Future of the West is a 2019 work of political philosophy and intellectual history by R. R. Reno, editor of First Things. The book examines the moral and cultural order that took shape in the West after World War II, especially the elite commitment to openness, anti-totalitarianism, anti-nationalism, and the weakening of thick collective loyalties. Reno argues that this postwar settlement was understandable after fascism, war, and genocide, but that it hardened into a broader suspicion of strong attachments, inherited identities, and public truth claims. His central claim is that contemporary nationalism and populism are not merely economic or electoral disturbances. They reveal a deeper hunger for belonging, solidarity, and shared loves. The book is written from a conservative and religiously informed perspective, but its main purpose is diagnostic: to explain why liberal openness no longer satisfies many Western citizens.
