A very timely reflection! Australians take their liberties and the origins of them for granted and it is no surprise we are losing them. The statists and the Socialists have taken control of school curriculum,thus Magna Carta and its origins are a passing sentence in a dreary text. Decontextualized, without reference to the grievances which produced it or consideration of the alternatives it is inevitable the young regard it as irrelevant.
The reasons why Gen Z feel this way would make for a very good article. There is no doubt that the 'self-selected' (online) worlds and communities they inhabit are a factor. Boomers like me grew up having to deal with all kinds of people. You had no choice. Not so Gen Z. Go for it Sunset Vigilante ...!
'How many undemocratic countries are Christian in nature?' Interesting question. The instinctive answer, based on true Christian principles, would of course be none. There are however a number of African countries that are nominally Christian (Catholic being the official religion) that are either dictatorships or under military/militia control. These being Equatorial Guinea, DR Congo, Burundi and the Central African Republic. Trust that helps.

An alarming finding, Bob.
But yes, it seems the young have been swept up into a false sense of security where government is concerned.
One day they will realise how wrong they’ve been.
It also reminds me that they don’t always live by examples, of which the world has many.
Very sad.
