Description
Politically correct secular doctrines have penetrated every area of our lives. They are in our schools where children are taught that moral standards are matters of personal preference. They are in our politics where marketing and manipulation substitute for rational persuasion. They are in our art, media -- even churches -- where sheer entertainment outweighs real-world truth. In Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning, best-selling author Nancy Pearcey, herself a former agnostic, offers an unflinching analysis of the profound personal and social devastation wreaked by secularism all across American life -- from the classroom to the courtroom, from the pulpit to the playground, from the boardroom to the White House. "Because the word secular is the opposite of religious, many assume that the rise of secularism is a problem for religious groups only," Pearcey says. "Not so. When politics loses its moral dimension, we all lose. When public discourse is debased, the entire society suffers." In this riveting account, Pearcey exposes the stealth secularism that permeates society through education, media, politics, art, literature, and movies. - Publisher.
