SECULARISM

If we were asked to produce one word which would characterize the twentieth century … the one word [would be] secular. … Secularization occurs when supernatural religion – that is, religion based on “belief in God or a future state” – becomes private, optional and problematic.

David L. Edwards

I can see little consistency in a type of Christian activity which preaches the gospel on the street corners and at the ends of earth, but neglects the children of the covenant by abandoning them to a cold and unbelieving secularism.

J. Gresham Machen

I believe that pluralistic secularism, in the long run, is a more deadly poison than straightforward persecution.

Frank Schaeffer
