The dangerous situation of religion, atheism, mixed with political power

A recent secular book “God is Back” by Micklethwait and Wooldridge3 researched the rise of religion in the modern world, reviewing particularly the European and American cultures in the past few centuries. Early in the book, they report attending a house church meeting in China which studied Romans 1:18–32 and note that at the conclusion of the meeting, the discussion:

“ … gives way to a passionate attack on Darwinism. Evolutionary theory argues Wang, breaking into English to reiterate his words, is ‘the biggest lie’, because it pretends to be rigorous science … .4

“The most remarkable part of the Bible study comes at the very end. In his summary, Wang brings many of the evening’s themes together—revelation, righteousness and false idols—and links them in a nationalist call to arms. Countries with lots of Christians become more powerful. America grew strong because it was Christian. The more Christian China becomes, the mightier it will be. If you want China to be a truly prosperous country, you must spread the Word to nonbelievers. If you are a patriotic Chinese, you have to be a Christian.”5

Micklethwait and Wooldridge identified the way that a link with political power is bad for religion (no matter what flavour) and laud those framing the American constitution. They rightly say that

“The founders understood the appeal of religion: they did not want to abolish or marginalize it. But they understood how dangerous it was when mixed with political power.”6

Hitler exalted evolution itself to the status of a moral absolute.

Isn’t that precisely what we observe in our world where the religion of atheism is being taught in our schools (in the name of not favouring one faith above another) and where the world view reflected by much of the media has the same ideological framework as well. Evolution, the atheists’ creation myth, is effectively government endorsed and sponsored. Here we have the dangerous situation of religion, atheism, mixed with political power.
