We atheists today must admit that for corpses Old Yahweh and his
sidekick JC Superstar are taking a long time to stop twitching and
grow old.

Atheism has absolutely nothing to do with abortion or any other
social issue. We loosely organized atheists don't become involved in
politics, and we mind ou/r own business. We are not judgmental,
interfering busybodies like typical 'Christians.'
Introduction.
When you see that [Christian] fish symbol on the bumper sticker of
the car in front of you, know that that is the enemy.

Goal: The 'Individualization' of Religion.
The American Atheists (formerly the Society of Separationists) is a
highly-organized entity headed by Madalyn Murray O'Hair. As atheists,
they subscribe to the Humanist Manifestos in their entirety
(excerpts from these documents are contained in Chapter 2 of Volume I,
"The Anti-Life Mentality").
Their ultimate goal is the total destruction of religion in this
country, both organized and personal. To the atheists, "freedom of
religion" is a hollow joke. Nothing more than total enforced
"freedom from religion" for everyone on a
nationwide scale will be satisfactory.
The organized atheists claim that they are merely defending the
principle of separation of church and state. However, by their actions,
we know that their actual goal is the complete separation of religion
and society.
Naturally, what the atheists, the American Civil Liberties Union,
People for the American Way, and others really desire is the
'individualization' of religion, where people may hold personal
religious viewpoints and stay at home or in their churches and pray, but
are strictly prohibited, both legally and societally, from joining with
others in attempts to base public policy on these viewpoints. In the
names of freedom and tolerance, Godless and atheistic policies achieve
automatic preference at all levels.
As a practical matter, this goal has been achieved; very few
Christians venture forth from their comfortable churches into the
streets to face evil directly. This is why evil holds sway in our land
today.
The Failure of Atheism.
Strangely, atheists seem entirely incapable of learning lessons from
past history. Despite the fact that their most distinguished 'thinkers'
admit to the utter failure of atheism as a cause and as a movement, they
seem driven to implement the destruction not only of themselves, but of
society in general.
For example, historian Will Durant wrote in the February 1977 issue
of The Humanist that "There is no significant example in
history, before our time, of a society successfully maintaining moral
life without the aid of religion."
St. Augustine could tell him why: "There is a God-shaped vacuum
in the heart of every person, and the heart will be forever restless
until it finds solace in Him."
The Atheist-Abortion Connection.
Religion has become an outdated mode, an outdated answer to some of
our problems ... Religion is the only reason women don't have control
over their bodies.
"L.A. Law" star Corbin Bernsen.[3]
The Abortionist's Role.
The source of the atheists' aggressively destructive attitude towards
Christians is neatly summarized in a letter to American Atheists by
abortionist Bill Baird.
Baird's letter to the American Atheists is dated Summer 1986 and is
printed on paper with a letterhead that says (I am not making
this up), "from the desk of BILL BAIRD, father of the abortion
movement." It reads, in part;
We are in the midst of a "holy war" ... Many of these
"Army of God," Ayatollah Khomeini-like clones are
firebombing clinics ... Our freedom is under full-scale attack. We are
in grave danger of losing our hard-earned rights. Freedom is neither
free nor a spectator event! If you believe in fighting for freedom and
dignity, we ask you to consider writing letters, picketing, voting,
donating money, and inviting Bill Baird to speak in your area.
Sincerely, Bill Baird.
The attached three-page American Atheists letter, which was sent to
its entire national membership, is a masterpiece of hysteria and fully
exposes the true strategy and goals of the atheists. Their own letter
reveals them to be anything but the harmless group of
sweet-natured eccentrics that the public perceives them to be, and is
filled with lies and hate;
The combined forces of the Religious Right [Evangelical Protestants
and Roman Catholics] have already made significant inroads in
seriously limiting the types of abortions that can be performed ... In
every incident [of violence] thus far solved, Christian
fundamentalists have been involved, including several Roman Catholic
priests ... these same fanatic religionists ... U.S. Supreme Court
Justice Harry Blackmun has received numerous death threats and has had
his home vandalized by "the Army of God.
Prior to 1973, untold thousands of women died or were maimed for
life ... Today abortion is ten times safer than childbearing ... it is
easy to see why abortion must remain a legal "safety net"
for women for whom contraception has failed or who have become
pregnant against their will ... There are several noteworthy
organizations that are diligently working to protect reproductive
rights, notably the National Abortion Rights Action League and Planned
Parenthood. But none of these groups are able or equipped, due to the
broad-based support they receive, to do battle with the real enemy
religion! American Atheists is. In Houston, Texas, we are now
providing patient escorts on a regular basis to family planning
clinics ... If you support quality of life; if you feel that living,
feeling human beings should receive precedence over potentialities;
and if you place a premium on freedom from religion, now is the time
to act ... Only American Atheists is willing to face the enemy head on
... Religion does not allow people to make their own choices. Religion
is about control. Once people are allowed to think for themselves,
religion will be deprived of its power and will soon fall to the trash
heap of history ...
Sincerely, AMERICAN ATHEISTS
Incidentally, it was the same Bill Baird who said "My goal is to
see the end of religion in this country" on a June 1988 Morton
Downey Show. Baird, on CBS's "Nightline," also demanded that
Catholic bishops be declared "agents of a foreign power" so
that their private papers and finances could be thrown open to public
inspection.[4]
Needless to say, Baird became livid when the host suggested that
perhaps his own private records and affairs should be exposed for
the sake of consistency.
Extending to Euthanasia.
The atheists believe that since there is no afterlife, anyone facing
pain at the end of this life should be allowed to kill himself
(or be killed by anyone else), in the interests of a "death with
dignity."
After Hemlock Society member Dr. Jack Kevorkian helped fellow member
Janet Adkins kill herself in 1990, he said that "Religious dogma
has become part of the marrow of humanity. We can't get rid of it. There
should be absolutely no connection between medicine and religion, but
there is, and it's paralyzing ... Religion has fouled up medicine for
centuries."[5]
Kevorkian is right, of course; religion has "fouled
up" his brand of 'medicine' ever since medicine has been
practiced the kind of 'medicine' where 'doctors' kill preborn babies,
let newborns starve to death, and commit murder and assisted suicide.
The Humanist Manifesto.
The American Atheists and other groups subscribe to the Humanist
Manifesto, which includes blanket acceptance of abortion,
infanticide, euthanasia, and the elimination of any life that they deem
not worth living. It reads, in part; "In the area of sexuality, we
believe that intolerant attitudes, often cultivated by orthodox religion
and puritanical cultures, unduly repress sexual conduct. The right to
birth control, abortion, and divorce should be recognized ... To enhance
freedom and dignity, the individual must experience a full range of
civil liberties in all societies. It includes a recognition of an
individual's right to die with dignity, euthanasia, and the right to
suicide."
Atheist Anti-Religious Activism.
The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the
absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum.
Havelock Ellis, atheist and friend of
Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.[6]
American Anti-Theists.
Make no mistake, the American Atheists and other atheist groups like
the American Humanist Association and American Gay Atheists are
fanatically opposed to religion for anyone. They are extremely
aggressive in their campaigning and activism. They are not merely
'atheistic,' as they say, but anti-theistic.
Their Activism.
American Atheists buys large quantities of anti-life books, including
Abortion Freedom and The Right to Lifers and sells them
for fundraisers, keeping nearly half of the total selling price to
"advance the Atheist cause."
American Atheists was directly responsible for the elimination of all
Bible reading and prayer from public schools.
American Atheists has even tried several times to have the words
"Under God" removed from the Pledge of Allegiance! Ricky
Sherman, a six-year old first-grader from Cook County Public School in
Illinois, recently filed suit in District Court for this purpose. His
father, atheist leader Robert Sherman, said that his son "...
thinks it's just bizarre that the religious fanatics back in the 1950s
added the words "under God" to the Pledge, because he [Ricky]
knows God is make-believe."[7]
This shows that the atheists are even willing to use their own
children as tools to further their causes.
However, this tactic sometimes backfires. Madalyn Murray O'Hair used
her son as a tool in the same manner. He is now an outspoken evangelical
Christian activist, much to mama's acute chagrin!
Solid Proof.
These examples of atheist action should prove beyond the shadow of a
doubt that the goal of American Atheists is not just to be left alone.
It is no less than the total eradication of religion in the
United States.
If the above examples are not convincing, try infiltrating an atheist
rally. Their favorite signs and T-shirts proclaim "BLASPHEMY IS A
VICTIMLESS CRIME," "CHRISTIANS ARE ASSWIPES," "MARY
SHOULD HAVE HAD AN ABORTION," and other hideous messages.
Remember that these are the same people who insist that they are
"nonjudgmental!"
No FCC Ban Intended.
It should be noted that the American Atheists has not
petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to ban all
religious radio broadcasting. This is a particularly persistent rumor
that the FCC has been trying to stamp out for more than a decade. This
is not to say, of course, that American Atheists wouldn't love to see
such broadcasting banned in practice!
Generic Atheist Attacks on
Christianity.
It's always the same with these papist bastards. They want to take
over the f_cking country. Do these pricks think they can run my life?
Policeman commenting on an abortion clinic picket.[8]
Introduction.
Atheists are the most tolerant and nonjudgmental people in the world.
Just ask them.
A person who believes the propaganda dished up in The American
Atheist will have painted in his mind a world where all Christians
are slavering, finger-pointing, screaming freaks and all noble Atheists
are tolerant, logical freethinkers who love freedom and rational
discourse.
But not all activist atheists are members of American Atheists. Many
of the attacks on Christianity that are described in the following
paragraphs are conducted by freelancers. After all, the atheist must
rationalize his own turning away from God, and the best way to do this
is to attack the very Person that he is drawn towards.
Generic Atheist Lies.
Like the homosexuals, the atheists use ridicule and satire as their
most potent weapons. Their targets, of course, are Roman Catholics and
Fundamentalists. And nobody ridicules quite as viciously as the
members of American Atheists.
Since they don't have the courage to attack Muslims, Jews, and
Hindus, their primary target is the Christian Church. Since atheists
generally lack imagination and intelligence, they contribute little or
nothing to the national debate. It requires no knowledge or wisdom to
make fun of another group or a person, which is the easiest thing in the
world to do. And so, the atheists do not attempt to dispute current
Church teachings; they instead rely upon a torrent of ridicule and
distortions to establish their 'positions' on various issues.
For example, Arthur Ide's book, Unzipped: The Popes Bare All
describes Catholic Popes generally as "sodomites, necrophiliacs,
pedophiles, rapists, drunkards, murderers, homosexuals, pimps," and
a lot of other rather uncomplimentary labels. The atheists boast that
this book is based almost entirely on "original historical
documents" and so it is. But, predictably, every one of the alleged
"historical documents" turn out to be outright fabrications or
other atheist tracts, which themselves are totally devoid of
footnotes.
The Bible = Pornography.
Since their only real opposition comes from church-based groups,
atheists relentlessly attack morality and the Church. The standards set
forth in the Bible are anathema to them, and so they have performed a
breathtaking moral inversion by labeling the Bible as
"pornographic."
When Sol Gordon, veteran Planned Parenthood masturbation pusher,
received the "coveted" Raymond E. Bragg Award for Scholarly
Contribution and Personal Commitment to Humanism in 1985, he said that
"The Bible is one of the most masochistic, pornographic things we
have ... If I was to talk about the real threat to women [other than
pornography], I would talk about some of the influences in the Bible ...
Those are some of the much more serious threats than
pornography."[9]
At the same awards ceremony and panel, Gina Allen, former director of
the American Humanist Association, said that;
I always steal a Bible out of a hotel. It makes the Gideons very
happy. You know, they look and they have to replace a Bible and they
say, 'We've got another convert.' Actually, I take them out of hotels
because I wouldn't want a child to get hold of this pornographic book.
Pornography is a symptom of a sick society a society based on this
book. Stories in the Bible are forerunners of the famous Hustler cover
that shows a woman being put through a meat grinder. This is what we
learn from this book that tells us how to rape, how to stone women and
children, how to burn women as witches, and so on ... The Lord God
invented women as a gadget a useful gadget for men's pleasure and use.
You take this gadget and you screw it on the bed and it does the
housework.[9]
I have a very special feminist dream. That dream is that this model
feminist ordinance should pass all over the nation. And that every
woman who had ever been raped and every woman who has ever been
battered and every girl-child who has ever been molested will sue
under this ordinance the Gideons who distribute this pornographic
book, everybody who publishes it, and everybody who preaches from
it.[10]
Not only is Allen a dismal Scripture scholar, but her profound lack
of self-esteem and loathing of her own gender shows vividly when she
describes herself and all other women as "gadgets."
And it is particularly frightening to realize that this leading
atheist, if she had her way, would see to it that anyone who dared even
preach from the Bible would be hounded to extinction!
Remember that the atheists pride themselves on their 'commitment to
free speech' but only free speech they approve of, naturally!
Atheists on Public Prayer.
The atheists operate on a very strange double-standard when
addressing the issue of public prayer. When Christians complain about
pornography in plain view on convenience-store shelves and on
television, the atheists simply say something along the lines of
"If you don't like it, don't look. After all, it's protected
freedom of expression."
However, when professional sports teams pray before and after games
and the public sees the praying, suddenly the atheists forget their own
advice and snivel loudly that their rights are being trampled.
For example, Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly
complained about a "wave" of prayer during and after pro
football games in the February 1991 issue of the magazine. He said,
"Sure, athletes are entitled to freedom of religion, but let them
exercise it on their own time." He complained that millions of
people were being coerced into watching prayer "whether they like
it or not," and that "Imposing one's private beliefs on an
audience is wrong."[11]
He went on to say that the National Football League should ban prayer
and fine violators, and, if this did not work, television should simply
censor all prayer scenes.
This is another example of the atheist rule that Christians should
only be allowed to pray in private, where nobody can see them.
Gee, Ricky, if you don't like to see prayer, maybe you should just
turn your eyes away!
And so, we have arrived at the point in our country where a flood of
public hard-core pornography is considered fine by atheists but seeing
people pray in public is coercive and harmful.
Isn't the Neoliberal brand of 'plurality' something else?
Atheistic Pornographers.
It should come as no surprise that pornographers are not only
atheistic, but anti-theistic as well. These people use their
formidable brand of media to exploit and abuse women, and also direct a
steady stream of bigoted anti-Christian propaganda at the sick minds
that read their garbage in the first place.
In its August 1987 Australian edition, Penthouse Magazine
suggested that "ordinary people like you and me" commonly have
sex with animals and that "Maybe it's time the Old Testament was
banned not only from the bedroom but from the barnyard as
well."[12] The following month, the magazine published a
"how-to" guide on statutory rape entitled "How To Feel
Sweet Sixteen Again." This 'Guide' suggested that pedophiles get
jobs at all-girls' schools, and described how to lure underage girls to
motel rooms and destroy their inhibitions with alcohol.[12]
The April 1987 Penthouse featured a cartoon of the Last
Supper. A huge cake is centered on the table, and a nude woman and three
armed Roman soldiers are emerging from it. Jesus has a big smile on His
face and His arm is around Judas. He says "Damn, Judas! You really
know how to betray a guy!"[13]
The pornographers constantly depict Santa Claus, an indirect
Christian symbol, as a cannibal, child molester, child killer, and as
having sex with animals. A January 1979 Playboy magazine cartoon
shows him having sexual intercourse with one of his reindeer. A December
1977 Penthouse cartoon shows a snarling Santa, holding a smoking
automatic rifle in his hands, standing over a dead child saturated with
blood. Santa is saying, "That'll teach you to be a good boy."
As always, the pornographers mock the religious right and associated
groups and individuals. Actual or stereotyped clergymen and members of
the Moral Majority are depicted in bed with or molesting little girls
and boys. The most famous recent example of such slander is Hustler
Magazine's cartoon of Jerry Falwell having sex with his own mother in an
outhouse.
The freedom to publish this slanderous cartoon was upheld by the
United States Supreme Court.
And Atheistic 'Artists.'
It should also be no surprise that the so-called "arts
community" is heavily dominated by atheists who use our tax dollars
to attack Christianity.
Perhaps the most loathsome attack of all on Christianity was
committed by Andres Sorrano, a little-known "artist," who
simply filled a vat with his own urine and submerged a photograph of a
Crucifix in it. He imaginatively entitled this masterpiece "Piss
Christ." For this magnificent effort, he received a $15,000 award
from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
Urine tax dollars at work!
His "work" was selected for the Awards in the Visual Arts
program of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art of
Winston-Salem, North Carolina for display and tour.[14] This program,
perhaps not coincidentally, is funded by The Rockefeller Foundation,
which also heavily funds worldwide population control. This is an
excellent example of how the population control cartel undermines the
authority of those organizations (in this case, the Christian Church)
who oppose their worldwide program of genocide.
Sorrano's other "works" include "Piss God" and
"Piss Pope." When asked what he would "work" with
next, Sorrano replied "semen." It turned out that he was as
good as his word.
Once again, political correctness reigns. Sorrano would never dream
of creating a "Piss Martin Luther King" or a "Piss Molly
Yard."
The National Endowment for the Arts had previously awarded Sorrano
another $15,000 of our tax money in 1985 for "creating artworks
composed from human body parts and decapitated heads of animals
exhibited in glass vats."[15]
In 1990, the NEA struck again. It granted $20,000 to the group
Artpark, which in turn gave Survival Research Laboratories (SRL) money
to conduct a Lewiston, New York show entitled the "Bible
Burn."
SRL distributed posters to art galleries all over the country,
boasting that "SRL will create large, sexually explicit props
covered with a generous layer of requisitioned [stolen] Bibles. After
employing these props in a wide variety of unholy rituals, SRL machines
will proceed to burn them to ashes. Bibles can always be obtained for
free from hotels, churches, and your parents' house."[16]
Strangely, there were no cries of protest from People for the
American Way or other humanistic, self-appointed censorship watchdogs
who habitually refer to Christians as "book burners" and
"censors."
Anyone who is not convinced of the anti-religious nature of
'contemporary' art should visit any public gallery and take a look for
himself. Not only is the 'art' heavily iconoclastic and anti-Christian,
but ninety percent of it is garage-sale class garbage that any
untalented member of the public could easily duplicate.
Finally: Atheistic Schools.
Virtually every one of the more than one dozen Neoliberal
'anti-censorship' groups, like People for the American Way, beat their
drums loudly whenever concerned parents try to exercise their rights
regarding their children in the public school system. These parents are
outraged and upset about value-free sex education, secret abortions and
birth control counseling, and occult practices taught in some books.
Therefore, they demand some say in the public school system. What could
be more reasonable?
Naturally, PAW and its friends never mention the most blatant
censorship of all: The total exclusion of the Bible from public schools
even for use in literature and comparative religion classes.
The atheists/humanists have baldly acknowledged the role of the
public schools in perpetuating their social agenda, as described in
Chapter 12 of Volume I. If they are to properly inculcate their values
in our children, no dissenting voice can be tolerated. The Bible is the
ultimate in a 'dissenting voice.'
To implement this program of censorship and control, the atheists
will go to absurd lengths. Recently, a Boulder, Colorado teacher was
reprimanded for using the word "Christmas" in a party
invitation. She was told that the acceptable term was "winter
holiday."
And, in Lake Worth, Florida, a principal ordered his staff to cut a
picture of the decades-old Bible Club out of all the school yearbooks
with razor blades before he would permit it to be released to
students.[17]
Conclusions.
It has never been more obvious that those who fall away from Biblical
morality dive directly into a cesspool of perversions that would make
any animal vomit. Incredibly, some pornographers and people who have sex
with underage children and animals call themselves "good
Christians." This mindset is the ultimate example of how thoroughly
some people can deceive themselves.
But Christians have only themselves to blame. In the face of the
attack by the Adversary, we have fallen back on nothing more than good
manners and have let the atheists and anti-lifers run all over us.
Our entrenched status as real second-class citizens in this country
is the inevitable result.
Atheists Paragons of
Violence.
Propagandistic Connection.
Activist atheists frequently claim that religious people can't think
for themselves and are essentially brain-dead, as voiced in their
popular bumpersticker "FUNDAMENTALISM IS MIND DEATH."
They also use examples of wars based partly upon clashes between
religious beliefs (i.e., Iran-Iraq) to "prove" that all or
most wars have religious motivations behind them. Additionally, they
often describe the Inquisition in order to 'show' how violent the
Christian Church is. Sometimes, the atheists claim that as many as 50
million were killed by the Inquisition half the population of Europe!
This is a blatant lie, of course. Even the most virulently anti-Catholic
writers have set an upper limit of 30,000 deaths caused by the
Inquisition during its entire 350-year duration. A more likely figure is
4,000 deaths.
The atheists also fail to point out that the role of the Church was
to bring charges against people it was the secular government
that tried and executed them.
The points that the atheists are trying to make is that they are
peace-loving, rational "freethinkers" who are in no way
involved in bloodshed, and that there must be an impenetrable 'iron
curtain' of separation between church and state.
Atheist Genocide.
Are the atheists the cuddly, peace-loving little dolls they claim to
be? Let us just look at a few examples of the massive genocide committed
by atheists in the last century alone.
Avowed atheist Josef Stalin killed more than thirty million of his
own countrymen during his reign of terror. In early 1932, his soldiers
sealed off the borders of the Ukraine and insured that no Ukrainians
could get out and that no food or supplies could get in. By the time two
bitter winters had passed, at least five million Ukrainians had
perished. Robert Conquest referred to the entire region as 'one vast
Bergen-Belsen,' and Montreal film-maker Yuri Luhovy produced a 57-minute
film about the massacre entitled Harvest of Despair.[18]
Avowed atheist Pol Pot laid waste to the entire nation of Cambodia
and killed more than a million and a half persons in a campaign of
unparalleled viciousness.
Avowed atheist Mao Zedong killed as many as eight million of his
countrymen.
Avowed atheist Adolph Hitler was responsible for a war that killed
fifty million people. Atheist propagandists like to argue that Hitler
was Roman Catholic, which is a ridiculous lie. If he was Catholic, why
did his concentration camps exterminate more than 12,000 Catholic
priests, including recently canonized Father Maximilian Kolbe?
Additionally, Hitler was guided in part by the thought of avowed
atheist Friedrich Nietzsche, a homosexual syphilitic who wrote in his
book The Antichrist that "Woman is by nature a snake."
To summarize, atheists are directly responsible for the extermination
of more than 200 million innocent people in this century alone.
By contrast, all wars of even a remotely religious nature have killed a
maximum of 15 million people in this century. This is still 15 million
too many; but the point to be made here is that atheist charges of
Christian violence are extremely hypocritical.
In A World Without Religion or Hope.
Among religions in this country which do not teach what would
generally be considered a belief in the existence of God are Buddhism,
Taoism, Ethical Culture, Secular Humanism, and others.
Supreme Court decision Torcaso v. Watkins.
Overview.
Many activist Christians motivate themselves by trying to imagine how
they would be treated in an atheist-dominated world. In reality, modern
Christians don't have to speculate they can look to the Communist
countries for examples. After all, Communism is nothing more than
atheism that has gained control.
One such example is described below, and illustrates the cowardly and
skulking manner in which the Communists operate. Other examples are
provided in Chapter 96 of Volume III, "Life Under Communism."
Holyn's Martyrdom.
In the Western Ukrainian village of Holyn, close to the Polish
border, the authorities told the people that they could finally open
their church as long as they footed the cost. The enthusiastic villagers
went to work and finished their beautiful church in 1977. But the
atheists, liars as always, then announced their intention to seize the
church and convert it into an "atheist museum."
The villagers would not be bullied by these rank cowards. The atheist
Soviets, showing the true colors of 'tolerant' atheists everywhere, had
bulldozed more than 150 Ukrainian churches in 1977 alone. So the
villagers stood guard for more than ten years, day and night, to prevent
atheist thugs from destroying the church. The atheist gangs attempted
more than a hundred times to gain access to the church by beating up and
tear-gassing the guards, who did not yield. Finally, the atheists
poisoned the water that the village men drank, and several of them died.
This is typical of the cowardice and lies of the atheists. They
'preach' tolerance continuously, but if they get into power, they will
ruthlessly destroy churches and kill Christians who dare to oppose them.
The atheists want not only 'freedom from religion,' they desire
most desperately the total absence of religion.

Wolgemuth & Hyatt Publishers, Inc., Post Office Box 1941, Brentwood,
Tennessee 37027. 1989, 200 pages. This scholarly book shows how atheists
have rewritten history to show only the best side of atheism and the

most atheist "heroes" really were. The book focuses on four of

423-5395. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen called this book "as complete
a study of atheism as exists in any language." The author shows
that, while we have been spending trillions of dollars defending against
the Communist onslaught from the outside, our country has been eaten
away by the atheist cancer on the inside. God is even outlawed in our
schools. Father Miceli shows why Communism must be atheistic and why it
is the ultimate spiritual evil; why Christian parents must firmly
inculcate their children with Christian beliefs; and how atheism is the
great temptation of the educated and/or intelligent. Covers the
similarities between Neoliberals and Communists, the roots and virulent
nature of atheism, and the proper Christian response to it.

skeptical Humanists.

Democracy in America.
Eerdmans Publishers, 1984. 280 pages. Reviewed by Joseph Sobran on pages
42 and 44 of the July 27, 1984 issue of National Review. The

country. He then goes on to show why this is not a bad thing, by
trashing all of the tired and shopworn Humanist objections.
Christopher Nugent. The Masks of Satan: The Demonic in History.

official state policy even today, particularly with regards to abortion
and the other central 'life issues.'

rejection of Jesus as Lord and Savior, has led us to the current
deplorable situation in the world.

50 pages. Order from Servants of Jesus and Mary, Nazareth Homestead,
R.D. 1, Box 258, Constable, New York, 12926, telephone: 1-800-263-8160.
Why the Catholic Church officially and irrevocably condemns the scourge

anti-Christian.

Viking Press, 1983. 273 pages. Reviewed by Nancy Koster on pages 5
and 9 of the November 24, 1983 issue of National Right to Life News.
