Quote by Scott Hahn & Benjamin Wiker

“Whatever the philosophical variety, the authority of exegesis will reside, not in the political sovereign, but in the enlightened philosophy that informs exegesis. Each in turn will provide yet another variation of Spinoza's hermeneutic of condescension. But this is also a hermeneutic of self-divinization. Therefore, each will invest his philosophy with all the religious certainty and zeal originally invested by Spinoza in his particular philosophy, and each will exhibit the same unshakeable faith and enthusiasm in the spread of its gospel and the progressive divinization of humanity. The divinization soon enough focuses on the process rather than the goal.”

“Sekularisme bukan hanya sebagai suatu faham yang memberi tumpuan kepada aspek-aspek keduniaan (kehidupan duniawi atau worldly life) tetapi sebagai program falsafah suatu aliran pemikiran yang cuba mentafsirkan realiti dan kebenaran hanya berdasarkan rasionalisme murni.
