&quot;Unwittingly actual secularists&quot;.&nbsp; How can this be?&nbsp; Of course the answers can be found within the &quot;loyalties&quot; bonding so many together no?&nbsp; It&#39;s not &quot;what&#39;s said&quot; nor is it &quot;what&#39;s done&quot;, it is &quot;shared belief&quot;.&nbsp; And even though secularism has been known to break the bonds of &quot;Church&quot;, it is sadly secularists, even &quot;unwittingly&quot; ones who bring it on, something to think about isn&#39;t it?&nbsp; After-all secularism is humanism, atheism.</p><blockquote><p><img alt="" height="41" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/6420/master/" style="float: left;" width="45"><a href="http://forum.spiritualfamily.net/viewtopic.php?f=47&amp;t=2230&amp;sid=4842c446cbd49990bc8cdd76331713bf">195</a>:8.3 At the time of this revelation, the prevailing intellectual and philosophical climate of both European and American life is decidedly secular&mdash;humanistic. For three hundred years Western thinking has been progressively secularized. Religion has become more and more a nominal influence, largely a ritualistic exercise. The majority of professed Christians of Western civilization are unwittingly actual secularists.</p><p>&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/7075/master/"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png"></p>]]></description>
