The Modern Secular Worldview

The modern secular worldview is grounded in a purely materialistic conception of reality. It’s sentiments on various issues are predicated on the notion that we are merely finite bodies. And therefore the most important values are often comfort and safety.

There is no sacred in the this view. No eternal, nothing beyond the senses. It’s the fruit of objective material science that denies the existence of the immaterial subject.

And so it’s a view that doesn’t really know itself. All of its so-called subjectivities are no more than subtle objects. It refuses to contend with the mystery and miracle of the True Subject.
