There’s a certain irony in watching secular progressives — those who sneer at faith — suddenly become self-appointed theologians when it suits their agenda. They love to cherry-pick scripture, wagging their fingers at Christians for not being “Christian enough,” while simultaneously rejecting every foundational truth of the faith.
This is the faith of the non-faithful, where secularists hold believers to a moral standard that they themselves do not accept.
Secular progressives are, of course, free to be non-believers. But that doesn’t magically make them paragons of reason. As G.K. Chesterton famously observed, "It’s not that atheists believe in nothing; they then become capable of believing in anything." And what do today’s secular progressives believe in? Inevitably, cultural Marxism, the false promise of a utopia where human nature is rewritten, history is erased, and personal responsibility is conveniently replaced with collective guilt. Their messianic faith in the state-as-savior would be amusing if it weren’t so destructive.
