We continue with “Coral Ridge Ministries”, 10 Truths about Christians & Politics:

Bursting with confidence, a small group composed mostly of Unitarian clergymen and academics issued their “Humanist Manifesto” in 1933. Advances in science and economics, they announced, had made it possible to reject God and traditional religions in favor of their new “religious humanism.”
“Man is at last becoming aware,” they burbled, “that he alone is responsible for the realization of the world of his dreams that he has within himself the power for its achievement.”

Humanism in Practice:
That same year, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, approved the genocide of seven million Ukrainians, and Adolf Hitler seized power in Germany. While American humanists enthused about “a free and universal society in which people voluntarily and intelligently cooperate for the common good,” their ideological cousins in the Kremlin were imposing policies that wiped out almost 25 percent of the Ukraine population, including some three million children.

In 1933, while these American humanists were joining is a chorus of praise to man’s potential to realize his dreams without the help of God, Europe’s two largest nations, led by Stalin and Hitler, were “firmly in the grip of totalitarian regimes which preached and practiced and indeed embodied, moral relativism, with all its horrifying potentialities,” While the American humanist were heralding a social vision that banished God, across the Atlantic that vision was being put into practice.

Both Stalin, who had become an atheist after reading Darwin, and Hitler, who tried to speed up evolution by eliminating “inferior” humans, ruled without moral restraint. They lived out what Lenin called the “the scientific concept of dictatorship.” By that he meant “power without limit, resting directly upon force, restrained by no laws, absolutely unrestricted by rules.”

“Don’t Stop Clapping”

Under their rule, “Fear by night, and a feverish effort by day to pretend enthusiasm for a system of lies, was the permanent condition,” according to historian Robert Conquest. Soviet cruelty included a sentence of ten years prison time to man who was first to stop clapping for Comrade Stalin after he spoke. An unfortunate tailor received a sentence of ten years because when he laid aside his needle, he “stuck it into a newspaper on the wall so it wouldn’t get lost and happened to stick it in the eye of portrait of Kaganovich {a member of the Soviet Politburo}.

Hitler, who made it his business to commandeer the church to his purposes, was pitiless toward all of so-called inferior race. “Our strength is in our quickness and our brutality,” he told 55 troops just before the invasion of Poland in August 1939, According to Hitler:

‘Genghis Khan had millions of women and children killed by his own will and with a gay heart. History sees in him only a great state builder. Thus, for the time being, I have sent to the East only my “Death’s Head Units” with orders to kill without pity or mercy all men, women, and children of Polish race or image.’ P. 39-41
