Scratch an Atheist, Find a Human-Deifier!
I already noted some examples of deliberately loaded, weighty words used for their pagan power and subtext in the ebook (subscribe to receive).
Here is Ayn Rand:
Question: What is Objectivism?
Answer: “My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute.”
— Ayn Rand, Appendix to Atlas Shrugged
The etymology is not accidental. The word “heroic” is solely a mythological, Greek archetype. Rand also invokes the term “prime mover” elsewhere.
Many similar examples can be found in “atheistic” writings.
