MODERN ATHEISM- Jersey Flight

Modern atheists (with their vapid commercialism) are undermining an exceedingly important cultural process: the necessary criticism of religion (which is vital to the process of distancing). The criticism of religion should be an exercise in liberation, a demarcation of cultural freedom (and not) another form of indoctrination which merely brings about a secular version of cultural bondage. But this is no mystery, this is what happens when the superstructure of religion is displaced without attacking and destroying the authoritarian foundation. The superstructure sits on the foundation; the superstructure is superficial in comparison to the foundation. To attack the superstructure, but leave the foundation in place, means that one (although they have disposed of that which resides on the surface) is ultimately still in the grip of religion! In order to get beyond religion one must get beyond the ethos which resides at the foundation, and this means that one must learn to challenge authority, as authority (altogether enhanced in its effect by a psychological disposition which is susceptible to it) is the very essence of religion itself!
