Page 69 - The Struggle Against the Religion of Irreligion

reveals itself at all levels. In such societies relationships are

established primarily on material benefits.

When material considerations blind even immediate family

members to the merits of spiritual values like love, brotherhood,

solidarity, self-sacrifice and loyalty, the existence of an upright nation

becomes almost impossible. That is because degeneration not only

affects the family but also spreads to the entire society. In schools

and among friends evils such as envy, deception, ridicule and gossip

replace love and respect. The business world, too, is riddled with

people with vested interests. Hardly anyone defends the rights of

others, seeks justice, or shows mercy and understanding for those

who are disadvantaged. In short, living in harmony and peace

becomes impossible for the members of such a community.

This is why the responsibility to defeat the religion of irreligion

ideologically lies with faithful people. In addition to the destruction of

family values and social relationships, other harmful effects of disbelief

throughout the land are increasingly evident. Every individual must

give serious opposition to disbelief if he declares allegiance to his state

and the love of his people.
