I, for one, intend to do everything I can to drive a stake through Christianity's foul heart.
To be replaced by what? Your choices appear to be based on the following assumptions:


ASSUMPTION 1) "God" gives power to a monarch who is his agent on earth - such as either one of these characters:





Therefore: We must have an aristocracy.


ASSUMPTION 2) "God" gives his power to Man directly, such as stated here:

Quote:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Therefore: We must have a democracy or republic.


ASSUMPTION 3) Absolute humanism, which sets man at the summit of the cosmos: man is the supreme being. All power comes from man. Therefore: We must choose a man and develop a cult of personality around him.


ASSUMPTION 4) Absolute humanism, which sets man at the summit of the cosmos: man is the supreme being. All power comes from man. But, no one man can be trusted with absolute power because power corrupts (man is fallible). Therefore: Some group must exercise power.


You hate Christianity. I get that. So where do we go from here?
