The New Atheism & The Erosion of Freedom
Overview
Tired of being on the defensive about your faith? This book subjects secular humanism to a revealing critical analysis, exposing its atheistic roots and hidden agenda. Dr. Morey shows how to use atheistic logic to refute itself—and then supports it with Scripture.
Top Highlights
“Second, the government applies direct pressure to the populace because even after the courts make laws against religion, the people will keep right on believing. The basic necessities of life must be denied those who continue to believe. Religious leaders must be either killed or placed in slave camps.” (Page 29)
“The only way atheists can strike a blow directly against God is to deny His existence. Is it any wonder then that the modern anti-theists’ champion is Prometheus who said, ‘I hate all the gods,’ who said he would rather suffer death than be the servant of the gods.” (Page 26)
“A teacher, charged with reverently speaking of ‘God’ before her students, was disciplined. When she asked if she was permitted to use the word ‘God’ before her students, she was told it could be used only in blasphemy or cursing, but never in reverence!” (Page 22)
“At one time O’Hair attempted to emigrate to Russia and even renounced her American citizenship. When she visited the Soviet embassy in Paris to finalize her request for a visa, the officials told her to go back and work for the revolution in America. Madalyn took this advice seriously. Her battle to forbid prayer and Bible reading in the public schools was apparently a direct political consequence of the advice given her by the Soviets.” (Page 17)
“The secular humanists have copied the Church’s methods. Just as Christians produce books, pamphlets and films which promote their biblical message, the secular humanists exploit mass media to promote the suppression of religion and the secularization of America—much as the secular state of the Soviet Union. Just as Christians hold seminars and evangelistic crusades, the humanists hold their seminars and rallies. Just as believers focus great attention on college students because many can be converted, the various atheistic societies almost entirely aim their efforts toward student populations.” (Page 21)
Dr. Morey has written another blockbuster...a great book.
