Schmitt opposed conceiving political existence as detached from theology

Evidence

Kantorowicz abstains from referring to this history and to the fact that the phrase “political theology” was revived, in the 1920s, by the German legal theorist Carl Schmitt. Like Kantorowicz, who by the 1950s had developed a different, more discreet political agenda, Schmitt was engaged in questioning the descriptive and prescriptive value of the notion of secularization. He lamented, warned against, and questioned the attempt to conceive of political existence detached from theology. — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 532
