            ganization members may claim to be religious, their statements reveal

            their beliefs to be totally opposed to religion. In general, they will state
            the following:
                 We see ourselves as integral with a unitary world around us, which
                 evolves according to natural law. In the simplest words: There is only
                 one reality, which we call Nature: …We are part of Nature and subject
                 to Nature's laws. Within the scope of these laws we are able to deter-
                 mine our own destiny… In other words, we ourselves are responsible
                 for everything over which we have the power of choice: in particular,
                 for the state of our environment and for the destiny of our race. This
                 view may be contrasted with the Semitic view. 25
                 As we have seen, the use of religious principles in speeches by fas-

            cist and racist groups, and their efforts to portray themselves as people
            who live by the morality of religion, are nothing more than a sham tac-
            tic. Studies and researches by sociologists and academics have empha-
            sized this fact. One of these academics is Jack Levin, director for the
            study of Violence and Social Conflict at Boston's Northeastern
            University. Levin states that the reason the groups use biblical refer-
            ences is to "lend an air of religious credibility" to their message of
            hate. 26
