I Want to Re-language Secularism

Nothing anti-Christians and atheists want more than to destroy Christianity. The problem is, everything they want, is rooted in Christianity and Judaism. Even the word "secular" is a Christian one. A Catholic priest that goes and lives in a monastery joins a "religious" community; one that goes and lives among the people is "secular". All the values that secularists espouse have already been addressed. They want separation of church and state. Done. Render under Caesar that which is Caesar's, and to God that which is God's. Family? Before Judeo Christianity, the family wasn't so important. Plato wanted to abolish it. The State should raise children. It takes a village anyone? Romantic love? Judeo Christian. Marriages were arranged. Now we marry for love. I guess we could go back to secular behavior…sex, Eros rules. Free love. Wam bam thank you mam. I think you may be getting the idea. Is secularism winning? The family is under attack, Eros is the goddess for much of our society (see just about any ad). Do you despair that Christianity is being driven out of society? Europe is Godless. Regular church goers are less the twenty five percent of the population there. In our country, we are given to believe that God is on the way out. Think on this…sixty percent of Americans say they believe in God. Most Americans believe in life after death. We are the most religious of all Western countries. Around the world, Christianity is growing. I haven't done much verifying of the stats, but it appears that Christianity, contrary to popular belief, is the fastest growing religion. Islam is said to be, but the difference is that Islam is producing more babies. Christianity is gaining more converts. China and India are the fastest growing. At the beginning of the 20th Century about ten percent of Africa was Christian, from about 10 million to 350 million today. Some African churches are so crowded, there are limitations to attendance! Want to worship? Get there early! South America is exploding too. Just in Brazil we are looking at about 50 million people. China has over 100 million Christians belonging to underground churches. How powerful is this message that people risk their lives to worship. The Philippines…exploding! These third world countries are sending missionaries to the West to save us! So don't believe the Secular Press. Christianity is on the move, and the proclaimed secular take over is a myth. Coming back to the beginning. The re-language I want is this. There is no scriptural basis for 'secular' and 'religious'. There is scriptural support for light and darkness. Light is the force of God. Darkness is secularism. I'll take the Light.
