The Nature of Christianity 2. The Nature of Christ 1. The Secular View. The secular view has its roots in humanism . This view puts its emphasis and ultimate hope in mankind thus opening the door wide for disappointment, discontentment and despondency.
Sin is ignored and self is exalted.
While there is a certain segment in this view who would decry all religious belief, the world has always had false religious leaders. In many ways, this view manifests itself at Christmastime. The world celebrates Christmas without Christ. This most special time of the year has become, at least in America, a time of financial gain or loss. Most of the stores in which we shop depend on Christmas sales for the majority of their annual profit.
