WHAT IS SECULAR HUMANISM?
Secular humanism is a philosophy, or religion, or faith, based on the notion that man is supreme and self-sufficient; and, therefore, he is not in need of God.
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.”
(Romans 1:28)
Secular humanism is a form of the original lie and has become the greatest deception ever forced onto modern western civilization. “Secular” means “non-religious,” or “non-spiritual.” “Humanism” is the philosophy, based on the theory of evolution, that man is the supreme being, self-existent and self-sufficient. The term must not be confused with a similar sounding term, “humanitarian,” meaning “philanthropic.”
Satan said to Eve in the garden, “Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:5)
You should rule your own lives; be your own person; and morality should be determined by popular consensus, majority opinion.”
A fundamental part of the humanist faith is the rejection of the knowledge of God and the subsequent attempt to explain life as if there were no spiritual realities. The theory of evolution was developed as an attempt to explain creation without acknowledging God the creator. It still remains a weak theory, with no scientific verification. Nevertheless, the humanists staunchly defend it as if it were scientific, because creation is the only alternative, and they have rejected the Creator.
“The fool has said in his heart, there is no God.” Why? Because “They are corrupt, they have done abominable works.” (Psalm 14:1)
When there is guilt in your heart, you must deal with it either by repenting, or convincing yourself that there is no judge, no God. Why do people still believe in evolution? Because they choose to believe that concept.
Humanism is diametrically opposed to biblical Christianity. Humanism seeks a one-world, social order, and rejects biblical morality. Humanism believes that eventually, man will save himself through technology, diplomacy, and philosophy. Humanism seeks to gain control through entertainment, mass media, and education.
The Humanist Manifesto was written in 1933 by John Dewey, an educator and author of the Dewey Decimal System. Charles Francis Potter, former president of the National Education Association, said,
“Education is the most powerful ally of humanism, and every American public school is a school of humanism.”
The deception was simple. They convinced the nation that government and education should be religiously neutral; and, so, God must be excluded.
To exclude God automatically establishes the religion of secularism. Every law and every doctrine must have a moral and religious basis. For example, the humanistic teaching on values is basically the rejection of biblical and family authority. Each individual must set his own values, because each is his own god, or judge. Rejecting God’s ownership leads people to the political bondage of socialism, the destruction of the family, abortion, and suicide. (Galatians 6:7-8)
HUMANISM HAS
“…changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator…”
