By Any Other Name: Exposing the Deception, Mythology, and Tragedy of Secularism

James G Abernathy

Have you ever wondered … … what a worldview is, and why it’s so important? … how liberal and conservative Christians both claim the Bible as their foundation? … why different worldviews attempt to solve the same problems in different ways? … how two people who formally espouse different worldviews can agree on so many issues? … why secularism is just as religious as Christianity? … why secularism has its own mythology? … why secularists want to silence Christianity in America’s legislatures, courts, schools and churches? … why education is nearly always offered as a solution to society’s ills (and why it won’t work)? … how to formulate positions on contemporary issues not directly mentioned in the Bible? … why Christians are often ineffective at influencing culture? Abernathy answers these questions (and many more) by examining the relationship between ideas and their real-world consequences. This foundational relationship is key to understanding secularism, to understanding why its attempts to solve society’s problems produce disastrous real-world consequences, and how its ideas infiltrate the biblical principles of even the most committed Christians. Abernathy sifts through the deceptive language of secular orthodoxy and shows how secularism by any other name still has tragic real-world consequences. Ideologies such as humanism, postmodernism, and liberal Christianity are exposed as repackaged havens of a failed worldview. Seemingly well-intentioned notions such as progressive education, pacifist foreign policy, tolerance, and wealth redistribution are debunked as deceptive myths peddled by an impoverished faith. By Any Other Name shatters the secular barrier erected to exclude Christianity from the marketplace of ideas and lays the groundwork for engaging a culture contaminated by secular mythology.
