NEW! The False Equation
Ryan Roth

Description

Ryan Roth. Secular humanists are quick to take credit for the advancements of rationality, scientific investigation, and the cultural and political progress that ensued. They point out that throughout history, societies were both highly religious and highly brutal, and the simple conclusion is that religion, therefore, equates to backward superstitions that stand in the way of progress. By natural extension, any traditions that encouraged freedom of thought and exploration signified a rejection of the archaic ways of religion and an embracing of the rise of secularism – while this interpretation is widely accepted, it crumbles entirely under scrutiny.

In every historical era wherein secular humanists claim to have made powerful social, cultural, and political impacts, upon investigation it was not simply that those responsible for these impacts were devoutly religious, but that for nearly all of Western history, secularism was simply absent as a notable cultural influence. Moreover, as soon as secular humanism began to have a culturally prominent impact, what resulted was violence, intolerance, oppression, and genocide at levels never rivaled by religious nations in history.

In this book, Ryan Roth explores the worldview of those who codified the rational and scientific processes and exposes the attribution of progress to secular humanism is actually an entirely false equation, and that progress was directly attributable to theism in general, and Biblical Christianity in specific.
