12. "...the perceived emptiness of secular liberalism..."
Tue Oct 14, 2025, 05:38 PM

A false, wrongheaded perception.

There’s nothing ‘empty’ about living a life filled with discovery and learning, of remarkable advances in science and new revelations in the arts, humanities, history, and literature.

In fact, it’s secular liberalism that defends and supports democracy and our civil liberties – ensuring the right of each individual to self-determination.

Instead, they want to exist in a realm of willful ignorance hostile to facts and the truth, subject to the arrogance of failed religious dogma.
