The failures and excesses of religion are easily identified. But many find in this an excuse for easy unbelief. They paint a cheap veneer of skeptical humanism over greed, despair, and immorality. As much as or more than the religionists they condemn, the secularists lose track of goodness. Openness becomes a scam for lack of commitment.
Values vanish in commercialization and relativism.
Until God shows up, anything goes. God has been condemned for his failure to insure justice. Therefore, it seems, anything is justified unless he appears. Secularism and religion both provide cheap substitutes for living faith. They insulate against risk and replace vulnerability.
