Many people believe that the United States is a non religious nation, with no affiliation with any religious group whatsoever. These people are gravely mistaken. Although Christianity has been virtually removed from the public arena, the religion of secular humanism has filled any void in its absence.
Humanism is the second oldest religion in history; it is a desire to be lifted above God and to become God. Although modern secular humanism often denies the existence of God, it basically promotes man to the place of God in his own imagination. It is impossible to have a government or any institution without the presence of religion, since they are made up of people who are religious by nature. Even the atheist who pretends there is no God is, in the practical sense, religious. His involvement in government would have a religious effect on the government. Therefore, since religion in government is unavoidable, it is a matter of which religion is best.
Here in the United States, we have traded the most fruitful, and the only true religion, for the most destructive one. The philosophy of secular humanism condones and in many places promotes euthanasia, abortion, suicide, sex outside of marriage, homosexuality, pornography and pedophilia to name a few – all of which Christianity opposes. Secular humanism has been the religion of the former Soviet Union, Red China, Cuba and Nazi Germany. It is the religion of death. More than 100 million lives have been taken through abortion, Hitler’s death camps, and communist regimes.
Secular humanism began to make significant in-roads in our country in the 1930s through the “progressive movement” led by educator John Dewey, a co-author of the Humanist Manifesto. His disciples quickly gained prominence in key positions as college presidents and the head of the National Educators Association. With these men in place, in the name of progressive education, they first began to rewrite our history, creating “social studies”, where they combined several subjects together so their trickery would not be easily detected. Through writing the new curriculum materials and the teachers’ manuals, they very subtly began to inject their poison, with questions such as, “Since society changes from one generation to the next, what are some of the old fashioned ways of your parents that bother you the most?”
Like a wolf that seeks to separate the young from the flock, they very subtly created what is known as the generation gap and the youth culture. It became “uncool” to like your parents, at least in public. They succeeded in separating us from our historical roots and divided the family, society’s most basic building block
We are now three generations into their influence. Only the very old can remember a pre-humanistic era. They are the ones who tell us that when they grew up, children respected their parents and worked hard to do their part in the family. They were grateful. They didn’t think the world owed them anything.
These are the kind of people that made America great.
