Secular humanism is a murderous religion

Robert Green's June 20 letter, “Moral people turn away from religion,” illustrates the intellectual bankruptcy that characterizes secular humanism. He asserts that “there are secular guides to morality, and they work far better than religious ones.”

Really? And what would those be? Thou shalt not kill? Thou shalt not steal? Secular humanism is by its very nature amoral, which is obvious if one only examines the evidence of social decay in our increasingly secular society.

History proves that the most murderous religion the world has ever seen has been ... gasp ... secular humanism! Even the Supreme Court acknowledged secular humanism as a religion in 1961.

Communism, which is atheistic and based upon the teachings of Darwin, Nietzsche and Marx, has been responsible for the deaths of more than 120 million people in the 20th century alone. Nazism (based on the teachings of Nietzsche, Darwin, and the Occult) killed 6 million Jews and close to 14 million others as a result of World War II. And 51 million American citizens have been snuffed out through abortion, which is just an extension of the secular eugenics movement. Must I go on?
