Agenda: School Invasion
According to American Atheist website, they believe that “Religious beliefs should not be used as the primary justification for any policy.” “Religious beliefs do not entitle people to special treatment under the law.” and “Government agencies and officials must remain neutral on religious matters.”
Their vision states their purposes as to: “1) stimulate and promote freedom of thought and inquiry concerning religious beliefs, creeds, dogmas, tenets, rituals, and practices (2) Collect, preserve, and disseminate information, data, and literature on all religions and promote a more thorough understanding of them, their origins, and their histories; (3) Advocate, labor for, and promote in all lawful ways the establishment and maintenance of a thoroughly secular system of education available for all; (4)Develop and propagate a social philosophy in which humankind is central and must itself be the source of strength, progress, and ideals for the wellbeing and happiness of humanity; (5) Promote the study of the arts and sciences and of all problems affecting the maintenance, perpetuation, and enrichment of human (and other) life; and, (6) Engage in such social, educational, legal, and cultural activity as well as be useful and beneficial to the members of American Atheists and to society as a whole.”
Again, these aren’t evil people. They have great intentions, and not all of them are as vehemently opposed to religion as some are. But it is also true that these words are slightly misleading. “...freedom of thought and inquiry concerning religious beliefs, creeds, dogmas...” etc. What they mean is freedom from coercion of religion and to replace it with purely “thoroughly secular system of education.” They wish, not for a freedom of religion, but a freedom from religion in which the government has no influence of religion. “Government agencies and officials must remain neutral on religious matters.” They do not believe Atheism is a religion, although the Supreme Court disagrees with them, and thus they wish for all government actions to be free from all religious prejudice (only possible if said government officials have no religious preferences). For most people, their religious beliefs dictate their moral standards, which depicts their judicial and legislative positions on issues. So what is their true aim? To bury religion in the mythology section of the library and bring about a new social experiment. One set upon the principles of Atheism.
How? Aside from political actions and social interactions, inculcate them at the educational level. Practically all 6 vision statements are aimed at the education level, and as Dinesh D’Souza once said, “Throw a stone in the faculty parking lot of an elite American or European university and you have a good chance of hitting an atheist. But throw a stone anywhere else and you really have to aim.” He was joking, of course, but the point gets across. Here are the words of one of their own, chilling and haunting words.
Richard Rorty - “to arrange things so that students who enter as bigoted, homophobic, religious fundamentalists will leave college with views more like our own.” And again, he said students were fortunate to be “under the benevolent Herrshaft of people like me, and to have escaped the grip of their frightening, vicious, dangerous parents.” He said as professors, “we are going to go right on trying to discredit you in the eyes of your children, trying to strip your fundamentalist religious community of dignity, trying to make your view seem silly rather than discussable.”
He is not the exception. As Kenneth Miller once said, “a presumption of atheism and agnosticism is universal in academic life… the conventions of academic life, almost universally, revolve around the assumption that religious belief is something that people grow out of as they become educated.”
If every teacher and every professor is saying religion is stupid, what will your reaction be?
That is a powerful agenda.
