"Secularist" Worldview

>History is rewritten and used merely as a tool to influence how people view the present

Only fedoras think that way

This is just a very wordy strawman

I agree. The author uses most terms wrong or terms that are dog whistles for the religious right. (metanarrative, evolution, social disease, moral relativity...) They seem to be chosen for their colloquial newspeak.
It is peppered with religious dogma from an evangelical Christian point of view, not theological arguments from all religion.
("propositional revelation from God", "building blocks for higher criticism of the Bible.")

Bullshit strawman, and "No true Scotsman" with false dichotomies, and 'making a beggaring of the question'. (separation of the sacred from the secular)

That's more text than I've read in past year

Worth reading for the lulz of that line at the end.

Nope, this is Christian fundies all butthurt because we won't teach intelligent design instead of evolution. It is deeply insulting to anyone like myself who tries to live a moral and spiritually rich life without the insane restrictions of religious fundamentalism.

Yeah, ditch this thread.
