Fighting for Religious Freedom: The War Against Liberalism

As our nation enters the 21st century, we have left behind two centuries of prosperity and dignity. According to many scholars, we are in the Age of the Church. But is this age passing away? As Christians of the new millennium, we are faced with the biggest struggle the church has seen since the Protestant split from the Roman Catholic Church. We are faced with liberalism.

Over the past three decades our nation has seen the rise of the religion of liberalism. Some may question how liberalism can be considered a religion. Religions shape a person’s worldview and liberalism does just that.

Many people think all religions require the belief in a god or a supreme being. But, just as the religions of Atheism, Buddhism and Shintoism have no supreme being and are considered religions, liberalism can also be defined as a one. They believe in the absence of a god, evolution as doctrine, that people are born gay and that child molesters can be rehabilitated.

As Ann Coulter, author of “Godless” states, “Under the guise of not favoring religion, liberals favor one cosmology over another and demand total indoctrination into theirs. The state religion of liberalism demands obeisance (to teachers’ unions) and reverence (for abortion) … Everyone is taxed to support indoctrination into the state religion through the public schools, where innocent children are taught a specific belief system, rather than, say, math.”

Since the late ’60s, the separation of church and state has taken shape. With a demanding call to not favor or support any particular religion, the government has done just the opposite. They have given their support to liberalism. One specific example is the public school system. Today, the public school system is required to teach the concept of evolution and not creationism. To say that teaching creationism along with evolution is supporting a specific religion would be false given that Christianity, Judaism, Islam and other religions support this theory of existence. Along with this, we must also give way to the belief that life is not sacred and that we are no different in morals or societal ways than apes.

Also, liberalism holds that the progress of humanity comes from sex and death, whereas Christians believe that people progress as a result of God’s direction and provision. Liberals believe that we are part of the world and connected to it; we believe that we are apart from the world and are called to have dominion over it. We believe in invention and creation, whereas they hold to preservation and limiting resources.

This worldview, stemming from the religion of liberalism, is manifested in the different programs and legislation that we, the taxpayers, are tithing for to essentially indoctrinate our children. We are told that we are no more valuable than the environment, as manifested with the acceptance of abortion and the tragedy of drilling for oil in Alaska telling us that a human life isn’t worth saving, but a native tree is.

Along with teaching that sex before marriage is completely acceptable, criminal rehabilitation is a must in the liberal doctrine. For example, liberals believe that it is our duty as society to rehabilitate child molesters. But they are the same people who claim that pedophilia is a sexual preference you are born with. So how can you change a preference a person is born with? Instead, the liberal agenda is to release the molesters back on society and in return, could potentially molest and murder more people. We as society are reaping the consequences of the religion of liberalism.

The Christians of the third millennium are faced with a decision. Are we going to fight to preserve our religious freedom in the country that was founded for this very reason?

As John Adams wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any order.”

If we wish to continue our existence as the most powerful nation on earth we must fight to keep our moral standards. Will we be the generation that allows this great nation to fall to the religion of liberalism as so many western countries already have?
