excludes the religious, spiritual, or sacred. That is
because secularism is defined by what it is against, not

by what it is for. Note the negative overtone of this
social construct…it is “defined by what it is against.”
So, it is within the realm of a secular society that
humanity is defined, categorized, divided, and ultimately
controlled. It is the object of gratuitous praises on
behalf of a secular society by those who unquestionably
embrace it. It is non-discriminatory. It is tolerant of
others. It is inclusive. It offers the best opportunities for
success. Yet, an intellectually honest assessment of
these proposed virtues will find them wanting in
fulfillment. For example, its claim of non-discrimination
is readily contradicted by its view of race. Its claims of
tolerance are equally discredited by the consequences
of its concept of race. Furthermore, how could a secular
society boast its inclusiveness, when its notion of race
deliberately separates and divides humankind? It is this
inherent division among humanity that has the second
and third order effects of perceived or actual inequality
regarding opportunities for success.
Legendary Preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon 43 in a
sermon delivered in January 1875 offered the truth of
the fallacy secularism.
