Les explains that the average professing Christian is in reality a practicing secular humanist. They claim to be believers and Christians, yet out in the workaday world they fit right in with secular humanism. The reason is that they are so ignorant of this book. Les clarifies that when he uses the word ignorant, he does not mean they are short on brainpower; he says he is average in brainpower, but there are many things he is totally ignorant of. Most church members, he says, are totally ignorant of this book, knowing only a little bit of the stuff scratched off the surface. Consequently, with so little biblical knowledge, they can come into the workaday world, embrace secular humanism, and not even know what they are doing. Les wants people to wake up and realize there is so much in this book to learn that will help as a nation in day-to-day living, experience, and good citizenship. He also observes that young people have no sense of right and wrong because they do not know what this book says, since here is where it all comes from.
