Savannah: Now that was worth reading.
I would add: The ideology of humanism that contends for non-religious sanctuaries of teaching only differ from a religion by mere logistics.
Religion as a whole extends its worship to an external ( whether material or immaterial ) but humanism has no external worship. The worship of the humanist is its own ego/pride/being/intellect. So, when the argument is made that the above posting is 'nonsense', the idolatry is hidden behind a lie. That lie is the contention that to refuse the existence of a Divine Being makes them non-religious, but it in fact is a demonstration whereby the humanist has constructed a very elaborate religious system.
This system has its ministers, its servants, its doctrines, its sanctuaries, it agendas, its proselytizing, its adherents. All of this combined forms the religion for the worship of self. Since the "self" is not openly deified the lie that humanism is not a religion deceives itself and the ungodly masses.
On this high hill, both pagan and atheist can worship self, skeptic and agnostic can make their offerings to self, humanists of political or societal bent can bring their converts to make offerings. Asherah poles, phallic symbols, animal images, demon images, images of men and women are all displayed in abundance. Each one bows toward the image they have made. But as each one bows, they know they are bowing to themselves, for they all have one great doctrine that must be kept...all who come to this high hill must admit the worship of any self other than themselves. As long as no one-self is calling to be worshipped you may make as many offerings, have any doctrine, devise any worship practice, hold to any morality of ones making.
Here also, the One True God is blasphemed, mocked, ridiculed, hated. Here is where orders from an invisible supreme command brings into their minds and hearts new inventions, new ideas and philosophies, new manners in which even more vulgar and more profane lifestyles can be indulged, approved and strategies made to normalize them down in the valley below.
These all sing the song of their supreme commander "There is no God, there is no religion to keep"; There is no God, there is no religion to keep"
These are the men and women you vote in for office, these are the men and women who run your schools, dictate public policy, offer change in history, teaching and philosophy.
But, because we don't see them in their pagan dress, but dressed like the Christian will dress, we equate what they do and what they think with no more disdain than we would have for dropping ice-cream on the floor.
