ADF Alliance Alert » Dennis Prager: If There Is No God

We are constantly reminded about the destructive consequences of religion — intolerance, hatred, division, inquisitions, persecutions of “heretics,” holy wars. Though far from the whole story, they are, nevertheless, true. There have been many awful consequences of religion.

What one almost never hears described are the deleterious consequences of secularism — the terrible developments that have accompanied the breakdown of traditional religion and belief in God. For every thousand students who learn about the Spanish Inquisition and the Salem Witch Trials, maybe two learn to associate Gulag, Auschwitz, The Cultural Revolution and the Cambodian genocide with secular regimes and ideologies.

For all the problems associated with belief in God, the death of God leads to far more of them.

Atheists and Skyscrapers

"We will leave the Muslims, Hindus, Mormons, and Jedi Knights to respond for themselves, although we note in passing that it is another fundamental belief of the atheist creed that all religions are essentially the same -- hence the oft repeated statement or accusation that 'atheists do not fly planes into skyscrapers.' It may have escaped the new atheists, but neither do Presbyterians, Catholics, or Southern Baptists!"

-- David Robertson, "The True Face of Evil" in Tabletalk Magazine (August 2008)

Center for the Study of Law and Religion: The Future of Christian Legal Studies: David A. Skeel

"The history of 20th century Christian legal scholarship, really, the absence of Christian legal scholarship in America’s elite law schools can be told as a tale of two emblematic clashes; the first, an intriguing historical footnote; the second, a brief, explosive war of words. "

Maya Presbyterians - Books & Culture

"Responsibility for predicting the demise of religion has inevitably become part of sociologist Max Weber's legacy. It was he who in 1918 used a particular locution that has come reverberating down through the years. "The fate of our times," Weber said, "is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the disenchantment of the world" (emphasis added)."
