But the New Atheists war perhaps goes back to Christopher Hitchens. The roots of the war focused on religion go way back. In a country like the US that was clearly founded on religious principles, where did this kind of verbiage about religion start? Chapter 2 will consider the roots of this war further. They think religion is a fantasy from which people need to wake up. Thus, they would argue that religion must die. The kinds of things they say end up trying to make people who hold to a given religion like they are simple-minded folk who know no better. Others have tried to do it by their rhetoric in the news. People like Richard Dawkins have sought to convince people of this position through their use of science. They have made it their mission to be evangelists for this position. This group is more properly known as the New Atheists. But it would be a mistake to say that all of the political left think this way. Many such people affiliate themselves with the political left. That is, they do not believe there is a God and that the way to explain the world is through the lens of an atheistic scientific based worldview. The way that others think the world is decidedly and firmly a theistic.
Why would someone think like that? Part of the reason is because they think the world operates in a different way than theistic religions claim. They do not mean that usually just one religion-say Christianity or Islam-but the entirety of religion. All Americans should care about these issues for that very reason.Īs odd as it may sound, there are many today that think that religion must die. This book offers an important perspective because its author is an agnostic who is arguing for the problems of the left attacking Christian theology that affects their larger attack on the nation’s constitutional values that stem from that theology. What is it? What does it look like? And how is it connected to Christianity? Consider reading this book that seeks to address the relationship of this dark agenda and its relationship to Christianity and our country. There is a dark agenda lurking in our country that comes from the left.
