spiritual and moral values, so they must implant atheist ideology into

people's minds and spread it within society. While rejecting Allah's

religion, they can still accept an altered form of religion compatible

with materialist views. George Gaylord Simpson, one of the leading

names in the Neo-Darwinist movement, describes the sort of religion

which is acceptable to evolutionists:

Of course there are some beliefs still current, labeled as religious

and involved in religious emotions, that are flatly incompatible

with evolution and therefore are intellectually untenable in spite

of their emotional appeal. Nevertheless, I take it as now self-

evident, requiring no further special discussion, that evolution

and true religion are compatible.

Simpson, an evolutionist, states that religion can be reconciled

with the materialist outlook on life as long as it fits their definition.

However, it deserves mention here that what he referred to as "true

religion" is surely not religion based on the revelation of Allah but

something far removed from the revealed truth, the fabrication of

"irreligious" religion which is based on materialist thinking and satisfies

people emotionally. In our day the majority of people who claim to

have faith actually live by the false religion which is alleged by

materialists to be "true religion."
