The Pagan Roots of Modern Thought by Mordecai Plaut
Part 4
Abstract: Modern intellectuals, especially those
who base their world view upon science, pride themselves on
being totally separate from the sphere of religion. They
believe their view of the world to be based on empirical data
and built up with reason alone, leaving them entirely
distinct from all religion. This pride is unfounded. In fact
their approach and conclusions are grounded in one of the
major old- time religions, namely, paganism. Modern-Day Remnants of Shabsai Tzvi Followers
