It is difficult to become enthusiastic when one realizes that these men take to themselves the thunder of the atheists of the past, and under the misnomer, "religious," place before the public what all atheists of the past ages have been preaching.” AtheismHumanismNaturalismReligious HumanismReligious NaturalismSpiritual Naturalism Book:The Necessity Of Atheism Source: The Necessity Of Atheism
“In the not far distant past deism and pantheism served as a polite subterfuge for atheism. There is a growing tendency in this present age to dress one's atheistic belief in an evening suit, and for the sake of social approbation call such a belief "religious humanism.” AtheismHumanismNaturalismPantheismDeismReligious HumanismReligious NaturalismSpiritual Naturalism Book:The Necessity Of Atheism Source: The Necessity Of Atheism
“Existence consecrates itself in ecstasy. Out of the primordial singularity we call the Big Bang a sacred life force pushes forward celebrating its own transformation. Everything that is, both animate and inanimate, emerges from this sacred common origin, whose very purpose is to multiply forms of sacredness. Every entity has it place and its purpose in our cosmos and finds it origin in this great flaring of energy. This makes us kin with all that exists. A deep sense of belonging provides us with ample reasons to protect our planet. The road from hydrogen to human that constitutes cosmic evolution has been a long one. Through us the Universe is finally becoming capable of reflecting upon its own journey. What an amazing story!!!” ScienceMysteryEcstasyReligious Naturalism Author:Wayne Martin Mellinger
