The Gods Of Atheism

Working Description: An excellent overview of the Enlightenment theologians/philosophers and how they try to get us to deny God's existence, why different forms and/or philosophies of atheism still involve some 'higher power' or deified ideal of perfection. This eye-opening book provides a detailed overview of the Enlightenment theologians and philosophers and their attempt to get us to deny God's existence. Fr. Miceli demonstrates that atheism's vigor arises from its creation of mythical gods in place of the true God. When the atheist has a spiritual posture against God he is simultaneously posturing in preference for some other Being above God. As he dismisses the true God he is welcoming his New God. Why must this be so? Because every personal commitment of man presupposes, deep in the metaphysical core of his being, a hunger for being and goodness. The aim of this work is to indicate that the great sin of contemporary atheism is that it consists, through a sustained act of Supreme Self-Will, a narcissistic adoration and love of himself.
