How about we leave the coronavirus apocalypse for a moment, and get back to a moreā¦permanentā¦.disease: the spreading secularism apocalypse.
1.Religion is very low on the list of characteristics to which many Americans aspire these days. The causes are Leftist political agenda in ascendancy in government schooling, and the dissociation of the family, due to Leftist control of every area of the dissemination of information.
But, why subvert the faith on which this country was built?
Answer: To replace our inheritance, Genesis 1:26, individualism, with the collective, government as god.
2. āWould, however, the world be worse- because of a decrease in individualsā happiness and virtue, or because of collective pathologies arising in the vacuum left by withdrawing religion. This is possible. Religion valuably informs, affirms, and motivates many aspects of many peopleās lives, from social institutions such as family formation through marriage, to art and sustaining rituals.
Many human beings have needs, or at least anxieties and desires that religion serves or assuages.
Certainly throughout history almost every society has had at its core some idea of the transcendent.ā
George Will, āThe Conservative Sensibility,ā p.483
3. We can look across the pond and glimpse the future based on the secular paradigm:
"The abandonment of the Christian tradition that created the West's most cherished ideal [with] a radical secularism evident in Europe's indifference to God and church- created a vacuum of belief into which many pseudo-religions have poured: scientism, fascism, communism, environmentalism, multiculturalism, sheer hedonism [and Islam] - all have attempted and failed....to provide Europeans with an alternative to Christianity that can show them what is worth living and dying for."
From "Decline and Fall: Europe's Slow-Motion Suicide," by Bruce Thornton
āā¦will America be made better by curbing religion in the name of secularism, or vice versa?ā Ben Shapiro
The question was reflected in the current battle in Congress, whether to make whole those Americans who are damaged by the corona virus, or to use the crisis to impose Democrat/Progressive/Marxism.
