quoting nevent1q…75yx

> Here, we see one of the reasons why tyrants desire a secular society. In secularism, there is no higher law, no eternal law, and no limits on rulers’ authority; there is no justification to limit government power within the secular worldview. While a population steeped in ideas about the laws of God would produce a people ready to rebel against any man who attempted to usurp them.
