Why don't professing Christians realize they have embraced secular humanism?
They do not realize it because they are biblically ignorant. Though claiming to be believers and Christians, most church members know only a little Scripture scratched from the surface. With so little biblical knowledge, they move in the workaday world, embrace secular humanism, and do not even know what they are doing.
Les explains that the average professing Christian is in reality a practicing secular humanist. They claim to be believers and Christians, but in the workaday world they fit right in with secular humanism. The reason is not lack of brainpower; it is ignorance of the Bible. Most church members are totally ignorant of this book, knowing only a little surface-level material. Consequently, with so little biblical knowledge, they can embrace secular humanism without even knowing what they are doing. Les also stresses there is much in the Book to learn that helps in day-to-day living, experience, and good citizenship, and that young people lack a sense of right and wrong because they do not know what the Book says.
