Do you know why ATHEISTS & HUMANISTS clash with religious people? Tell me what you think about their liberal.

Question

tendencies conflict with religion.

Now, liberalism incorporates within its doctrine rationalism, secularism, and socialism. The basis of “liberalism” forms a view of individual independence of radical proportions. Liberalism Is A Sin continues:
...RATIONALISM, or the doctrine of the absolute sovereignty of human reason. Here human reason is made the measure and sum of truth. Hence we have individual, social, and political Rationalism, the corrupt fountainhead of liberalist principles [which are]: absolute freedom of worship, the supremacy of the State, secular education repudiating any connection with religion, marriage sanctioned and legitimatized by the State alone, etc.; in one word, which synthesizes all, we have SECULARIZATION, which denies religion any active intervention in the concerns of public and of private life, whatever they be. This is veritable social atheism. (10 & 11)
It asserts the sovereignty of the individual and social reason and enthrones Rationalism in

the seat of authority. It knows no dogma except the dogma of self-assertion. Hence it is heresy, fundamental and radical, the rebellion of the human intellect against God. (15)

Getting a consensus or rationalization can not take the place of God’s revealed word through the Bible and His Church. As Alexander Hamilton said, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. ...Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail, in exclusion of religious principle.”
Abraham Lincoln made the comment, “Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my great concern is to be on God’s side.” Since the time of Adam and Eve people have been deceived and disobeyed “Divine authority” to do their own will.

Answer 1

Because their unprovable beliefs go against theistic beliefs. And they feel their beliefs are correct, so they feel free to make us all live by them, cause if they are correct we are fools to believe in God. Of course, we believe the Bible "they are fools who say in their hearts, 'There is no God'", and believe all should live by the Truth.

Answer 2

First, "religious" people is a huge group. I have not seen much clashing between humanists and Buddhists, for example.. because Buddhists do not have a tendency to go around telling everyone they are wrong and going to hell.
In fact they are too busy being "mindful" in the corner.

As far as the connection between liberals and religion.. Jesus was a liberal :).
He said give up your love for self and stuff, and help and love others.
The focus is on the away from selfishness and towards helping humanity and suffering.

Somehow along the line however, many christains became the same as the Pharisees that jesus scolded for living the "letter of the law, not the heart of the law". When focusing on the dogma instead of love and non-judgement, we become no better then those we intend to "save".

Answer 3

Do you have any opinions of your own, or are you just going to copy and paste Dr. Salvany?

In response to your question, it's right in the article you've provided: "...RATIONALISM, or the doctrine of the absolute sovereignty of human reason. Here human reason is made the measure and sum of truth." Or in other words the idea that atheists and humanists know more by finding out for themselves than by blindly believing someone else's dogmatic preaching. Atheists and Humanists clash with the faithful in an attempt to inspire freethought and self-rationalization. Those who are blindly obenient to faith are only as moral/intelligent/enlightened as those they follow.

Answer 4

Not to put too fine a point on it, all of the foregoing is a bunch of cr*p. You cannot demonstrate that god even exists, let alone that the bible (with its hundreds of errors and dozens of internal contradictions) is the word of god. It is entirely appropriate that human reason be the measure and sum of truth -- because it, and the senses that feed it -- are the only source of information that we have.

Answer 5

Those are opinions, and we are all entitled to our own. Within the context that you have shared my preference is liberalism.

Answer 6
