Is rational secularism becoming a religion? 

"This is important to consider be-cause now, for the first time, our own society is embarking on a secular stage where there is an attempt to replace faith with reason, to replace religion with secularism.

We have replaced Genesis with the Big Bang, and the Garden of Eden is now populated by enormous lizards instead of a snake. The will of God has been replaced by the randomness of natural selection. And now we even have a looming apocalypse of climate Armageddon caused by human sin.

And although it is all speculated from rational science, it seems to me that it takes as much magical thinking to believe it as it used to take for me to imagine what I was taught in Sunday school." .......

Which begs the question: Is our new rational secularism becoming a religion of its own?
