Many Christians feel that they are being opposed at every turn by what seems to be a well-orchestrated political and cultural campaign to de-Christianize every aspect of Western culture. They are right; and it goes even further back than the Obama Administration.In Worshipping the State: How Liberalism Became Our State Religion; Benjamin Wiker argues that it is liberals who seek to establish an official state religion: one of unbelief. Wiker reveals that it was never the intention of the Founders to drive religion out of the public square with the First Amendment; but secular liberals have deliberately misinterpreted the establishment clause to serve their own ends: the de-Christianization of Western civilization.The result; they hope; is government as the new oracle. Personal faith in a deity is replaced with collective dependence on government; and the diversity of religious practices and dogmas is reduced to a uniform ideological agenda. The liberal strategy is two-pronged: drive religion out of the public square; and then; in religion's place; erect the Church of the State to fill the human need for a higher power to look up to.But what was done can be undone. Outlining a simple; step-by-step strategy for disestablishing the state church of secularism; Worshiping the State shows the full historical sweep of the war to those on the Christian side of the cultural battle--and as a consequence of this far more complete vantage; how to win it.
