Ministries began in 1962 in the midst of international fear about the growth of Communism. As Noebel studied further, he realized that every person has a worldview and that all worldviews are inherently religious. Noebel also realized that the naturalistic worldview had effectively co-opted the secular system of education to indoctrinate American youth to its way of thinking.
Evidence collected since that time bears witness to the shocking truth of Potter's comments.
In a study of college students in America, Gary Railsback discovered that nearly one out of two students who enters college claiming to be a born again Christian leaves college claiming to not be a born again Christian. Having lost its focus on the battle of ideas, Christianity has witnessed the collapse of Christian influence in virtually every institution in society. For every Christian philosopher active in scholarly research, there are hundreds of humanists. For every Creationist scientist, there are thousands of evolutionists. The same is true in politics, the judiciary and the media.
