"If the faith of the Christian Church has grown weary and has forfeited its worldly dominion, the dominance of its God has not yet disappeared. Rather, its form has been disguised and its claims have hardened beyond recognition. In place of the authority of God and Church looms the authority of conscience, or the dominion of reason, or the God of historical progress, or the social instinct."
- Martin Heidegger
The more I study the pagan opposition to early Christianity, the more I doubt that modern humanists and classical pagans would have too much in common. Heidegger is correct here. Liberal secular humanism is just Christianity in a new disguise.
