9.7 Who Is The Real “free Thinker”
Who is the real “free thinker”?
The atheist, who:
1. Lives in a secular world.
2. Goes to schools with secular curricula based on secular philosophies that constantly question and critique faith on the basis of “critical thinking,”.
3. Is embedded in an elitist secular culture that neither recognizes God nor religion.
4. Is every day exposed to media, movies, and music that ignore or question the existence of God.
5. Resides in an overall secular intellectual milieu where being “religious” is tantamount to naivety and being skeptical of religion is tantamount to enlightenment, and then, after all that, arrogantly proclaims as if, against all odds, he has made the discovery of the century, “Eureka! There is no God!”?
Or the Muslim, who:
1. Lives in a secular world.
2. Goes to schools with secular curricula based on secular philosophies that constantly question and critique faith on the basis of “critical thinking,”.
3. Is embedded in an elitist secular culture that considers Islam retrograde and terroristic.
