The Christian Humanist believes it is possible to be Christian without belief in God "for those who find the life and teachings of Jesus compelling but have difficulty with the concept of God in traditional Christian theology." To see a similar argument, see my thread John Shelby Spong: Example Of Progressive Christian, Where is the line between Christian and humanism?, esp. Post 16 by Antlerman.

The quotes below are taken from various pages of the Fanatic Fundamentalists section of The Christian Humanist. They underscore my reason for fighting fundamentalist religion.

Quote:
There is little to distinguish the bomb thrower at a family planning clinic in Atlanta, from the Israeli settler tossing a bomb into the home of a Palestinian family, or the Sunni bomber blowing up a Shiite mosque in Iraq.

[M]any in the Fundamentalist Christian right take this Second Coming concept seriously and literally. They have been pressuring George Bush...to support the extreme right-wing Israelis...[to] provoke war between Israelis and Arabs that will result in a cataclysmic world war and nuclear catastrophe, [with the hope]...that [this] will set the stage for the end of the world and bring Jesus back to earth to take his people to heaven....[P]eople who believe this occupy some of the top positions in the Pentagon and they are advising George Bush on political and military strategy....[T]hese people are not afraid to unleash a catastrophic war.

Quote:
Fundamentalist religion, whether Jewish, Christian or Islamic, serves terrorism by providing it with a rationale and justification, the end justifying the means.

There has been a noticeable reluctance across our society to confront religious fundamentalism directly; but if we value human rights, if we care about the social responsibility implied by a caring society, and if we want to continue to enjoy our hard-won constitutional freedoms, we must be willing to confront and say No to the religious terrorists and bullies of our day.
