This book seeks to explain the detrimental effect that Humanism is having on society in the West.
Sookhdeo’s contention is that this secular philosophy has not only eroded the Christian values underpinning Western culture; it has also led to the enthronement of a new atheistic spirit at the heart of society. This manifests itself in a civic ‘religion’ that exploits the vacuum left by Christian morality, setting up its own moral values, legal norms and educational goals instead. These new values seek to oppose and dispose of the Judeo-Christian norms that have been force for good for so long.
