Atheism – North America’s
dominate religion!

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God.”

There are many religions in the world including religions that worship God, angels,
the devil and demons, and even dead ancestors. There is also one anti-religion
called Atheism which believes there is no God. As an anti-religion, it is actually
every bit a religion as regular religions.

Like all religions it requires faith.

Just as Christians believe in God by faith, atheists believe there is no God by faith.
They believe there is no God by faith because there is no proof that there is no
God. It also takes faith to reject the testimony of the multitude of people around
the world and throughout history who testify of God and the supernatural world
existing. It also takes faith to believe the world was created by strictly natural
means when common sense says that the countless things in the world that are
marvels of engineering required a creator and when their theories (the “big bang”
and evolution) are not proven to be true.

They truly are people of faith. Only Agnosticism, not being sure if there is a God or
not, requires no faith.

Like adherents of other religions, atheists are worshippers.

Specifically, they worship creation rather than the Creator, including worshipping
themselves, other people, and “mother Earth” (Romans 1:22-25).

Like all religions it has its own doctrine.

In particular, atheists teach the following:

  • They teach that life began naturally, including teaching the “big bang
    theory” for how the universe was created, and the theory of evolution for
    how life was created on planet Earth
  • They teach secular humanism, which is a view of life without God and
    includes the teaching of a secular public arena, abortion, euthanasia, no
    fault divorce and common-law marriage, variant sexual expressions and
    identities, and variant definitions of marriage and family  

And like all religions they have community meetings, which specifically take place
through their activism when they fight for the cause of secular humanism including
taking faith out of the public arena, abortion, euthanasia, no fault divorce and
common-law marriage, variant sexual expressions and identities, and variant
definitions of marriage and family.

Atheism truly is a religion, albeit an anti one.

People of faith like to dismiss Atheism as being meaningless, lumping it together
with agnostics and religious people who lack serious faith, but it is not
meaningless. In fact, I believe that it is now the dominate religion in North America.

Let me explain.

A society’s dominate religion is the one whose beliefs and values affect the society
the most. Years ago Christianity was North America’s dominate religion. Today
Atheism is North America’s dominate religion. Our society is currently officially
called “Post Christian” but I personally believe it is most properly called “Atheistic”
because I believe Atheism has become its dominate religion.

This can be seen by the following:

  • Its teachings on origins including the “big bang theory” and the theory of
    evolution is accepted by most schools and the media as the truth
  • Its teachings of secular humanism (including a secular public arena,
    abortion, euthanasia, no fault divorce and common-law marriage, variant
    sexual expressions and identities, and variant definitions of marriage and
    family) are not only becoming widely accepted, they are increasingly
    becoming public policy and even a part of the laws of the land

Now some may question whether Atheism really is North America’s dominate
religion, preferring instead to attribute North America’s secular humanism to
secular humanists. Secular humanism however is the desire to live life without
God, which in fact is Atheism. Therefore secular humanists are by nature atheists
whether they define themselves as such or not. And as such, Atheism is ultimately
behind secular humanism and consequently ultimately responsible for North
America’s secular humanism.

Now atheists of course think this is a good thing, but I don’t think so. I think it has
been terrible for North American society.

Consider this.

First, it has made sexual immorality acceptable.

Years ago when Christianity was the dominate religion, sexual immorality including
fornication, adultery, and homosexuality was considered to be major sin. Today,
under Atheism’s secular humanism teaching, sexual immorality including
fornication, adultery, and homosexuality is accepted as normal.

The problem with this is sexual immorality is major sin. The Bible is very clear that
those who practice sexual immorality will not inherit the Kingdom of God (1
Corinthians 6:9-10).

Second, it has plagued society with the repercussions of sexual sin.

Sexual sin has repercussions. These include the following:

  • STD’s
  • Unwanted pregnancies and abortions
  • Rampant pornography and sexual addiction
  • Broken relationships and marriages due to sexual sin

These things can and do happen in all societies, however in a society where
sexual sin is accepted, they become epidemics. Atheism has brought about these
repercussions to epidemic proportions.

Third, it has destroyed the traditional family unit.

The traditional family, both biblically and throughout history is a man and woman
who are married, and their children (Genesis 2:24). Statistically, this family unit is
by far the best for raising children and for building strong communities.

Atheism’s secular humanism beliefs including no fault divorce and common-law
marriage, variant sexual expressions and identities, and variant definitions of
marriage and family has truly destroyed the traditional family unit, as much as it
can possibly be destroyed (due to the nature of men and women, it will always be
popular).

Today, we now see the following as commonplace:

  • Families with parents who are not married
  • Single parent families
  • Blended families

As a result, the traditional family unit is now actually becoming the exception.

Fourth, child delinquency is epidemic.

There is a proper way to raise children. It includes having both birth parents being
married and properly parenting their children. When the traditional family unit is
broken down, proper parenting suffers. Childhood delinquency is the result, and
today it is truly epidemic.

Consider this:

  • When Christianity was the dominate religion, the worst problem in schools
    was gum under the desks; today it is gun violence
  • Teenage pregnancies and abortions are now so commonplace that they are
    not considered problems but rather normal everyday life
  • Drug usage and alcoholism among teens are at all-time highs
  • Suicides among teens are at all-time highs

How did this happen, how did we go from being a Christian society to an Atheistic
one?

I believe it was achieved through four main things:

  • The theory of evolution bringing doubt to the existence of God and the
    truthfulness of the Bible in the minds of many people
  • Atheists activism
  • Atheists use of their intelligence and education to make persuasive
    arguments for their causes
  • Atheists having positions of influence in the sciences and in institutions of
    higher education

Through this I believe atheists have been able to successfully influence schools,
the media, the masses of people who do not have deep faith in God, as well as the
government to make changes to the laws of the land for their causes, which has
subsequently allowed them become the dominate religion in our society.

The bottomline is if you ever wonder why our society is so messed up, don’t
wonder anymore. It is because it is an Atheistic society and according to the Bible
atheists are ungodly fools (Romans 1:18-32). And very simply, ungodly fools make
foolish and ungodly societies.
