Fanatical Secularism

Could you please define fanatical secualarism,dv?

I term is as vague to me as Islamic fanaticism. It requires context.

Fanatical Secularism can be viewed as its own sort of religion whereby the "state/media" replaces the church / mosque / temple and, despite claims otherwise, also assumes the role of the "higher power".

Man is God. Well … certain men. Christian love is replaced with "tolerance" and sex.

It can be safely assumed that most secularists are on the political left and have a tendency toward moral relativism, which is the belief that we all live by our own moral code and "whose to say one is better than the other" blah blah blah. However, in truth, secularists do believe in a set of moral truths: those that THEY determine.

Some may refer to it as the spirit of the anti-christ. After all it is indeed against Christ. 

The secularists are not theists since their belief system does not include a diety per se. Although they abhor the notion of dogma they nevertheless rigidly espouse the strict adherence to the fundamentals of their faith.

Fanatical Secularism even has basic Commandments and a few prophets.
(1) The improvement of this life by material means. (2) That science is the available Providence of man. (3) The Prophets Kurzweil, Dawkins, and Hawkins.
