We have seen the religion of unbelief in America literally elaborated into a system and applied in a wholesale social experiment. We are seeing every societal institution: Church, state, family, economy, morality, welfare being targeted for comprehensive reconstruction on humanist foundations, in a utopian crusade toward the final emancipation and salvation of mankind.
The state born of unbelief is omnipotent, omnipresent, meddlesome, centralized, and bureaucratic. It has to be this way because it’s got a huge job to do. You see, in the absence of God, the state must become God. The state must fill in as supreme judge, lawgiver and king, as provider, as comforter of the afflicted; and without Jesus Christ, the state must become the “savior” of mankind. The state born of unbelief cannot be regulated, amended, voted or vetoed out of existence. Political revisions are temporary and meaningless because it springs from an underlying religious belief system and worldview. Conventional political action is futile so long as the ideas of unbelief remain lodged in the machinery of public policy.
Political conservatism has always lacked the backbone and vision to offer a clear and organized alternative. In futility, it has sought to bring political and social change without Christ or the Bible, thus seeking to treat the symptoms of the humanist/socialist state without providing a remedy for its underlying causes.
