For the past several decades the political left in the United States has waged an all out war to eliminate all elements of Christianity from public view. The most infamous example of this is the left’s war on Christmas.
Christmas has become the holiday that must not be named. Nativity Scenes have been removed from government buildings. Malls hardly have any decorations. Schools across this country have banned all aspects of Christmas.
In the 1960s the Bible was banned from schools along with religious education. No one is allowed to utter anything religious at commencement ceremonies.
The political left in the United States despises Christianity so fervently because its adherents do not want any competition from other religions. Progressivism is their dominant belief system.
Progressivism is most definitely the official religion of the political left in this nation. I copied three definitions of religion from the Merriam Webster dictionary so you can see for yourself if Progressivism is in fact a religion.
a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith
scrupulous conformity
I would define religion as a belief system based on faith rather then science or verifiable facts. If you ever had a conversation with some one who identifies as a liberal or a progressive it would become obvious that Progressivism is a belief system entirely devoid of verifiable facts. They believe what they have been indoctrinated into believing. Debating with leftist using facts and logic is pointless.
Progressivism is a top down, all encompassing political belief system. Because of that it is similar to Islam. All aspects of life come under the control of Progressivism. This includes speech, healthcare, food, cars, the economy, every product you can buy, and what you believe.
Like all political philosophies of the left, progressivism is a collectivist belief system. Individuals are not allowed to think for themselves or decide anything for themselves. Progressivism is entirely groupthink. Individuals do not matter. All that matters is group identity politics.
The political left here has worked hard to establish Progressivism as the official religion of the United States, in direct violation of the Establishment of Religion Clause of the First Amendment. This was never attempted by Christians. All Christians want to do is freely exercise their religious beliefs, which is protected by the Free Exercise of Religion Clause of the First Amendment.
