[Note: <\/strong>This MS is available in larger font on our Brief Articles 2<\/strong> page.]<\/span><\/p>\n Secularism<\/em> is from a Latin term, meaning \u201crelating to an age or period.\u201d When used in a religious context, the secularist stands not only apart<\/strong> from<\/strong>, but also opposed<\/strong> to<\/strong> religion. In reference to \u201cChristianity\u201d (in its broadest concept), secularism<\/em>stands opposed to every vestige of belief in God, in Jesus as God\u2019s Son, and\/or in the Bible as God\u2019s Word. It has been present in our nation for a century; in recent decades, it has been in virulent assault mode.<\/span><\/p>\n Secularists have targeted the US because most of our founders, though bound by denominational creeds, believed in God, in Jesus Christ as His Son, and in the Bible as Their inspired revelation. Consequently, the Constitution and Bill of Rights they produced reflect that Biblical faith. With two centuries of the secularization (and more recently, Islamification) of Western Europe, America is the last bastion of any degree of \u201cChristianity.\u201d It must be erased here, also.<\/span><\/p>\n Ironically, anti-religion\/anti-Christian secularism is itself a religion\u2014The Church of Secularism (TCOS). Under the guise of opposing state establishment of religion (\u201cChristianity\u201d in this case), TCOS has knowingly perverted the First Amendment\u2019s \u201cestablishment\u201d clause of the Bill of Rights, which forbids establishment of a state-mandated religion and guarantees citizens \u201cfree exercise\u201d of religion without government interference. Our founders never imagined that Secularists would ever so control the levers of power (including jurists on the Supreme Court and presidents) as it now does.<\/span><\/p>\n TCOS\u2019s opposition to state establishment of a religion is unmitigated hypocrisy. Its real aim is to place TCOS in that role. It has turned freedom of<\/strong> religion<\/em> into freedom<\/em> from<\/em> <\/strong>religion<\/em> (except its own)\u2014the last thing the founding fathers ever envisioned.<\/span><\/p>\n TCOS has many \u201cdenominations,\u201d including liberalism (political and theological), socialism, progressivism, Communism, feminism, multiculturalism, New Ageism, Atheism, Humanism, agnosticism, Satanism, and others\u2014all promoted and defended by the misnamed American Civil Liberties Union. The Bible has its Deca<\/strong>logue; TCOS has its \u201cOcta<\/strong>logue\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n Is TCOS already the established religion of America?<\/span><\/p>\n [Note:<\/strong> I wrote this article for and it appeared in the Denton Record-Chronicle, <\/em>Denton, TX, October 14, 2016.]<\/span><\/p>\n Attribution:<\/strong> From thescripturecache.com<\/em>; Dub McClish, owner and administrator.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Views: 0 [Note: This MS is available in larger font on our Brief Articles 2 page.] Secularism is from a Latin term, meaning \u201crelating to an age or period.\u201d When used in a religious context, the secularist stands not only apart from, but also opposed…<\/p>\n\n
