Stand with Christ in age of Radical and Extreme Secularism

In the modern age extreme secularism has become quite popular and its proponents A.C. Grayling, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawkings, Stephen Hitchens, and others have made quite a bit of a stir (and know doubt profit) off of it. We live in a period know as the end times (the time after Jesus's resurrection) and this particular period is a very odd time! Sadly their are some very shrill and I think this is due to the perceived version of some modern Christianity which doesn't go into the deeper exploration of Scripture and teachings and doesn't go deep into the teachings of our Lord. Their is a sense among these famous atheist's and or secularist who basically bought into the myth that Christianity would have died 30-50 years ago and are now saying man we need to try and make this happen.

First off Christianity has survived 2000yrs for one simple reason it is the truth and life transforming. Because a certain group of Christians are violent and seem to have more political than spiritual agenda's the finger has been pointed at Christians and they say it ruins society, they do bad things, they are bad for your health, and they are capable of incredible violence, better to get rid of and eradicate them now before its to late. Personally. A lot of these Secularists and extreme atheist use misdirection, untrue statements, and misguided and twisted facts to meet their ends!

My question is which God are they concerned with: the God of genuine Christianity or is the God of the rather water downed modern western Christianity that exist in many places today! The Good News is if we were being ineffective followers of Christ nobody would launch this kind of attack, it is actually because we are making waves that these attacks have been fired at us. Interestingly enough I say let them come we have nothing to be ashamed of,  we have the truth of the Good News. If our God is for us, who can stand against!

So let us change the world through the Good News, the love of Christ, and be a light unto the world! While we are being pressured to be quite and sit in a corner we will not be silenced, because the Love of God is more powerful. Christianity is a public profession of trust in the risen Lord, their is no good in being a Sunday only Christian and we must tell others about the reason of the hope within us. Also Christianity has made a enormous difference in the world as the first schools, hospitals, universities, and many other things came from Christian churches. Lets go back even to Pagan Rome before Christian influence: 40 percent were slaves, men and women fought one another to the death in the Colosseum, women had no rights, and the regular practice of fantasied
. I fervently believe in Christ and Christianity with all my heart, my soul, and strength-so I stand by God and will do so for eternity!
