I would argue that they are in fact, Idol worshipers. Their idol, instead of some golden Baal or Moloch, is themselves. They are God, and therefore they decide what is right and wrong, who lives and who dies, etc... etc... But saying that out loud, or even admitting that to themselves would be ruinous, just like the most RW'ers would never dare actually confront the inherent, underlying Social Darwinism in their policies. For either of them to do so would be to render themselves as anathema.

Another thing they are missing is the logical ability to see the societal advantage in what Jesus |

This post is offensive to non-beleivers. It perpetuates the "Atheist = no morals" lie. |

While they do worship themselves, that is not idolatry. |
