Understanding the Religion of LIEberalism

America’s most famous inventor, Thomas Edison, referred to humanity as “incurably religious.” Thus it comes as no surprise that when people forsake belief in God or some deity/deities, they retain the earmarks of a religious person; it’s just that their ‘god’ becomes the state, pseudoscience, a godless ideology, self, or some combination of these.

We now live in a post-Christian society in Western civilization (including places influenced by Western civilization) where our schools & universities promote forms of so-called progressivism and despise biblical Christianity. Generally speaking, believers in Christ & the Bible are held in contempt as “backwards,” “bigoted” and “uneducated.” As such, whenever ‘progressives’ throw around the word ‘education’ what they really mean is “indoctrinated by Liberal ideology.”

Since they radically oppose Christ, the truth (John 14:6, 8:32 & 17:17), it comes as no surprise that their doctrines, beliefs and practices in general are rooted in lies; in other words, their ideologies by nature “suppress the truth” (Romans 1:18), which explains why I refer to Liberalism as LIEberalism. While I originally coined this term to be amusing, its accuracy is increasingly clear in light of the absurd lies Liberals preach and insist everyone else must accept as truth. For instance, the idea that there are scores of genders (I’ve lost count) or that a man can have his penis surgically removed and not only become a woman, but legitimately compete in female sports; anyone who objects to this or refuses to refer to him with a female pronoun is slandered as a “bigot,” a “transphobe” and even guilty of a “hate crime.”

Whilst Liberals tout themselves as tolerant, they are only tolerant as long as people agree with them or, at least, don’t try to hinder their secular agenda. They exalt “diversity,” but try finding a Conservative on staff who dares to question Lib group think and speaks the biblical truth. For instance, why aren’t Libs celebrating the victory of the first female Prime Minister in Italy? Obviously because she believes in God and supports biblical morality and family.

LIEberalism Is Preached at Colleges

It goes without saying that the more “educated” by secular institutions a person is, the less likely s/he will believe in absolutes, like God, truth and morality. I attended a state university as a devout believer from late 1989 to early 1995 and I could feel the anti-Christ spirit that permeated the classrooms and halls. My faith was challenged on every side on a daily basis, but 1. I maintained my relationship with the Lord and 2. kept anchored in my biblical studies, feeding regularly from God’s Word and sound ministers (Matthew 4:4).

Yet I could readily see how the faith of Christian students would be weakened in such a godless environment, even to the point of falling away from the faith (Hebrews 6:4-9 & 2 Peter 2:21). I’ve known several solid believers who went off to college and left as agnostics or atheists. And yet Christian parents continue to blithefully send their kids off to God-hating Universities and are shocked when they come out as unbelievers. Gee, go figure. (For anyone who says it’s impossible for a believer to lose his/her salvation, see this article).

The vast majority of professors in our schools of (supposedly) higher learning are hardcore atheists and it comes as no surprise that they promote their anti-God “progressivism” when teaching on neutral subjects. For instance, I had a lesbian English teacher in college who constantly attacked the concept of Judeo-Christian values while espousing her “Liberal” idiotology. We were supposed to be learning about the English language, and did, but we also got lectured on the non-morals of what was obviously her religion.

For anyone who objects to my reference to Liberal ideology as “idiotology,” all genuine Christ-followers are called to expose the fruitless deeds of darkness, not passively condone them (Ephesians 5:11). Christ Himself resorted to more extreme language during his earthly ministry when dealing with the religious fascists of the 1st Century, which you can read about here. In Western countries today we are threatened by irreligious fascists and I’ll supply plenty of examples of how their beliefs & practices are outrageously idiotic. The fact that Liberals support demonic-looking transvestites mentoring our little children in public forums tells all. Worse, they’re proud of it because they view it as a badge of their “progressivism” (aka moral regressivism).

At least agnostics honestly admit that they don’t know what the truth is, as far as ultimate reality goes. I was an agnostic throughout my teens. But Atheists claim to know there is no Creator of life & the cosmos, which explains why the Bible plainly refers to hardcore atheists as fools (Psalm 14:1, 53:1 & 10:4). The obvious problem with this is that these are the very people mentoring our youths at college — people whom the Bible openly calls fools. Can this result in anything good?

Recently I checked on the status of some former celebs in the Christian music industry who were held up as mentors in the 80s-90s. The reason I looked them up is because I was reading some old interviews with them wherein they stated how they were going to go to college to get a degree for this or that so they could earn a living. There’s nothing wrong with this, of course, as it’s an understandable goal. The problem is that these Christian icons, who were examples to younger believers and very much respected, would be exposed on a daily basis to the aforementioned atheistic “progressivism” that permeates the halls of secular universities. Would their faith be able to withstand the Christ-rejecting onslaught that I myself experienced? I was disappointed to find out that several of them had become atheists in the process, like Joey “Ojo” Taylor of Undercover and Ian Arkley of Seventh Angel, amongst others.

I’m not here to condemn these people; it’s perfectly understandable how they lost their faith given the nature of modern universities. My point is: If secular college can convert seemingly strong Christian celebs like this to the religion of atheism/secular humanism, what about our children whom we sincerely send off to college to get ‘educated’ for the good purpose of earning a good living? They might earn a degree and get a lucrative job, but what of the things of God and eternity? No “education” or job is worth losing reconciliation with the Creator and eternal life!

LIEberalism Has Become the Establishment ‘Religion’

So-called progressivism is now the religion of Western Civilization and is essentially one-in-the-same as liberalism or secular humanism and its current fad “woke-ism.” How is it a religion? It has all the earmarks of one:

An irrefutable “god” (science or what Liberalism says is science, aka pseudoscience).
Its own “scripture” (Lib-approved journals & textbooks, as well as pseudoscientific works, like Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, and basically whatever a hip ‘authority’ says on the topic at hand, like Fraudci and his perpetual lies and contradictions).
Its own faith-based cosmology (the big bang theory).
Its own miracles (e.g. the idea that everything originally sprang from nothing, which violates the scientific axiom of biogenesis — that life can only proceed from life).
Its own beliefs in the supernatural; even many of those claiming to be strict atheists acknowledge what they call extrasensory perception or paranormal activity (studies have shown that Liberals are more likely to believe in paranormal phenomena compared to Conservatives, whether ghosts, talking with the dead, fortunetelling or astrology. Let me put it this way: Is a New Ager or fortune-teller more likely to be a Liberal or a Conservative?).
Its own “churches” (public schools & colleges) (more on this in a moment).
Its own “high priests” (godless ‘scientists,’ professors & teachers) (ditto).
Its own “saints” (corrupt politicians, immoral celebrities and thugs who make the limelight for one reason or another, like George Floyd).
Its own sacrifices (abortion & infanticide and suicides, as well as fake suicides of its own people when necessary, e.g. Jeffrey Epstein). (As far as suicides go, consider the devout Libs who commit immolation to protest the hoax of “Climate Change”).
Tithing (to teachers’ unions, tuition and donations/taxes for sacred Leftist causes, like the ambiguous “Climate Change” & the corresponding Paris Agreement/UNFCCC).
Obeisance for their hallowed leaders, institutions and activist organizations (Obama, Harvard, NOW, Greenpeace, etc.).
Its applauded virtues (recycling, sexual perversions, mask-wearing, getting the experimental vax & perpetual boosters, etc.).
Its loathed practices or “sins” (chastity, reading/believing the Bible, sharing the gospel of Christ, converting people from native religions, etc.).
Its own faith-based explanation of life itself, aka the theory of evolution (after over 160 years of desperate searching they have yet to prove that random mutation & natural selection leads to the creation of a new species).
Its revered “ancestors” (apes or ape-like beings).
Its faith-based insistence that humans are created in the likeness of apes rather than the image of God.

This should not be interpreted to mean that all scientists, professors, public school teachers, etc. are godless and frothing at the mouth with evil because this isn’t true in the least. For instance, one of my English teachers at state college was a devout Christian man (unfortunately, he was contrasted by the lesbian English teacher noted earlier). I’m of course speaking in generalities in this article. But let me ask you a relevant question alluded to earlier: Can a genuine believer openly espouse their perspective in an academic environment without being seriously penalized in some way, even losing their job (and I’m not even talking about proselytizing)? We all know the answer. Liberals are only tolerant of their own ideology and those who bend to it, although they’ll exempt anyone who’ll jump in bed with them in their fight against biblical truth, like Muslims. In other words, although Liberalism and Islam are opposing belief systems (religions), they are united in their vehement opposition to Judeo-Christianity.

If you doubt that classrooms are now the top forum for spreading secular humanism & its nuances, consider what John Dunphy said in an article way back in 1983, over forty years ago:

I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being. These teachers much embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preachers, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subject they teach, regardless of educational level — preschool, day care or large state university. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new — the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism, resplendent in its promise of a world in which the never-realized Christian ideal of “love thy neighbor” will finally be achieved.

Are you starting to see why I refer to Liberalism as the modern state religion? Are you seeing why I refer to it as LIEberalism? It is riddled with falsities and glaring contradictions:

Homosexuals are “born that way” while child-molesters can be rehabilitated;
Saving a tree or plant is virtuous, but slaughtering babies by the millions is okay, including allowing ones that survive abortion to die unattended;
We should eat organic foods and must wear masks to hinder the spread of ailments, but the possibility of spreading a gross disease via casual sex or perverse sex is an unalienable right;
Sexual activity is merely genetic & all-for-fun and has zero sacred purpose or moral consequence, but the slightest hint of sexual harassment against a female is diabolical (speaking as someone who’s wholly against sexual harassment);
Druid-like reverence of the Earth is praiseworthy and progressive, but biblical worship of the Almighty is superstitious and backwards;
Liberalism claims to wholly support feminism, yet curiously advocates & commends biologically male transsexuals competing (and winning) against biological females in women’s competitions;
It’s perfectly okay if primitive peoples from Asia settle in the Americas, i.e. AmerIndians, but not technologically-advanced people from Europe.
The current fad of “wokeness” is a state of awareness achieved by those dumb enough to find injustice in everything except their own behavior, e.g. the lawless thugs of BLM and ANTIFA, who love Burning/Looting/Murdering whole blocks of cities (always the less wealthier sections).

The Bible reveals that when a society forsakes God and common sense wisdom, they are given over to a “reprobate mind” wherein what is good becomes evil and what is evil becomes good (Romans 1:28 & Isaiah 5:20). It’s an upside down world and explains the Bible’s description of their glaring absurdities: “At the beginning their words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness” (Ecclesiastes 10:13).

This explains the response of Democrat “leaders” in present-day America to the consequences of their bad policies and corruptions. They say with a straight face that:

mass destruction through violent rioting & looting is merely protesting;
heart attacks (from being forced to get the experimental vax) are healthy;
gross inflation means a strong economy;
supply chain breakdowns are perfectly normal;
empty shelves (due to communistic measures) mean people are buying;
unvetted people illegally pouring through the Southern border by the millions is just immigration;
Biden is by far the most popular president ever with 81 millions votes (just not 81 million voters, which you can learn about here).

This is merely a taste of their lies and upside down madness in present-day America.

Without an intentional origin or divine purpose, secularists in the modern era lack a moral compass. Seeing themselves as little more than animals, since their original ancestor is Cha-Ka, they tend to veer toward hedonism or some form of immorality to find fulfillment and even identity. Others glorify the State — or its corresponding ideals — and serve accordingly to find purpose. Others succumb to a disillusioned life of “quiet desperation,” as Henry David Thoreau put it, and are usually assuaged by an excess of “meds.”

Christ said “You will know them by their fruits,” referring to people who falsely speak for God (Matthew 7:15-23). This would include people who claim to understand and represent the truth or ultimate reality. (Remember, Christ said he was “the truth” in John 14:6 and ‘truth’ in the Greek is alétheia, which means “reality” or “the way it really is”). What is the fruit of the Liberal intelligentsia who in essence worship (pseudo)science and their religion is “progressivism”? Answer: Things like godless Marxism (Socialism/Communism), gross slander, brazen voting fraud, arrogance, condescension, hypocrisy, sexual immorality and sexual perversion.

Why is hedonism and sexual immorality rampant on secular campuses? Why is it that whenever you visit a college town you’ll see overt evidence of homosexuality, but hardly ever in other areas? Answer: Because that’s what is preached & commended at these schools of supposed higher learning despite the facts that the practice of homosexuality results in a much higher rate of STDs, mental illness, drug use and suicide or suicide attempts. Of course those who choose the homosexual lifestyle are to be tolerated and respected as fellow human beings who have the right to make choices about their lives, whether positive or negative, just like we tolerate obese overeaters, smokers, drinkers, drug addicts and so on. However, this doesn’t mean that homosexuality should be promoted and celebrated since that would be asinine in light of the facts that support its all-around unhealthiness.

LIEberals Support Pseudoscience

The sneering scientific sophistication of Liberals is merely a pretense. They actually hate real science and flee from it screaming like vampires responding to holy water. Here are some examples of genuine science:

unborn babies are sentient human beings with a beating heart;
males who foolishly have their penis chopped off and take female hormones are not females and this is proven by their DNA;
the AIDS virus does discriminate;
there is such a thing as IQ;
the sexes have differing abilities in different areas (e.g. math, science and gymnastics);
non-life cannot create life;
and nuclear power is actually not very dangerous.

Meanwhile Christians are pro-common sense and anti-false science (again, I’m speaking in generalities; there are, admittedly, people who claim to be Christians who are unfortunately corrupted by legalism). For instance, the scientific principle that only life can create life — biogenesis — obviously points to a Creator. Believers in Christ naturally question questionable “science” regardless of how popular it might be in Liberal circles.

When it comes to science, some good questions include: What specific topic is being addressed? And is the ‘science’ thereof reliable or dubious? For instance, climate alarmists have a long history of false predictions supposedly based on ‘science.’ The current “Climate Change” hysteria is actually a Leftwing agenda and politically motivated. As such, the scientists they use to support their position are basically ‘yes men’ and ‘yes women’ because their jobs and funding depend on agreeing with the false narrative, as well as backing it up with supposed evidence. See these videos for insights: My Gift To Climate Alarmists, Are We Doomed? And Climate Scam No Longer Needed.

We must understand that the Bible is a theological work and not a scientific one. It shares some info that’s applicable to the sciences in a general sense, but often requires further study on part of the one seeking knowledge. For instance, the Bible is not an astronomy book, but it does support the basic idea that the Earth is a spherical body suspended in the empty space of the Universe, which disproves the idea of a flat Earth (Isaiah 40:22 & Job 26:7). The Scriptures teach that the Universe constantly “pours forth speech” and “displays knowledge” to “all the Earth” (Psalm 19:1-4); the apostle Paul backed this up by the Spirit in different words (Romans 1:19-20). So the LORD knew we’d acquire important details through our astronomical observations and studies.

Or consider the human brain. The Bible tells us a lot about the human mind, but it doesn’t give us details about the physical brain or brain surgery. We naturally obtain knowledge of the latter through specific studies.

We have to get away from this modern-day notion that scientists are infallible gods. Just because they say something is so doesn’t necessarily mean it is. Christ said to be “wise as serpents” not gullible as idiots (Matthew 10:16). For one thing, scientists are not God. For another, scientists disagree all the time based on the data they acknowledge and the agenda behind their work. Thirdly, scientists are perfectly capable of presenting data in a skewed way to back-up their case for decidedly selfish reasons, like apprehending funding or keeping their job. This explains the saying: 97% of “scientists” agree with whoever funds them. After all, being a scientist doesn’t make one immune to being a liar. As for those scientists who say there is no God, however smart they might be, the Bible says they’re fools in no uncertain terms (Psalm 53:1 & Psalm 10:4).

True science is the study of any aspect of God’s physical creation. When people worship science above God it becomes an ‘idol’ and devolves into pseudoscience. In the end, are you trusting in science (the creation) or God (the Creator) to give your life meaning and salvation?

The religion of LIEberalism has several sects and the corresponding names — atheism, secular humanism, progressivism, liberalism, LGBTQ, wokeism, Marxism (Socialism/Communism), etc.; there are nuances, of course, but it all comes down to people united in “suppressing the truth,” which means they suppress reality (Romans 1:18). Why are they obsessed with suppressing the truth? Because they’re children of the lie who “follow the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient” (Ephesians 2:2). This spirit is satan, “the father of lies” (John 8:44), “who leads the whole world astray” (Revelation 12:9); in other words “the whole world is under the control of the evil one,” this father of lies (1 John 5:19). When you grasp this, you start to see why unbelievers are so vulnerable to believing and walking in glaring lies and gross error. It helps with compassion. And it explains why teachers & professors in Western nations are instructing our youth about hundreds of genders and why mommy has a penis rather than focusing on reading, writing, arithmetic and legitimate science & history.

So what’s the answer? The only answer to lies & error is truth, which explains why Christ said “the truth shall set you free” (John 8:31-32). This reveals the purpose of this article — to confront the suppressing lies of the religion of LIEberalism with basic truths. It’s the starting point for setting people free of this godless religion. Rather than being “mean” and “bigoted,” I’m just sharing common sense data & truths in a concerned, honest manner. It’s called tough love. Christ did the same and the world hated him for it (John 7:7 & John 3:20). Thankfully the Lord followed up with “But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light” (John 3:21). This process of getting set free from the lies/error promoted by LIEberals starts with receiving from legitimate sources of truth and accepting the awesome message of Christ.

Anyone reading this who has been caught in the web of LIEberalism and the pseudoscience thereof, the LORD is calling you out of darkness and bondage, just as God called me & millions of others out of darkness and bondage. As Paul exhorted: “We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:17-21). Here’s how to reconcile…

¹⁶For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life… ³⁶Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

John 3:16,36 (BSB)

⁹…if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.

Romans 10:9-10 (BSB)
