Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,... Romans 1:22
"A comprehensive Gallup Poll study released by Baylor University
(USA) shows that traditional Christian religion greatly decreases belief
in everything superstitious such as astrology,
clairvoyance, UFOs, etc.
It also shows that the irreligious, people who
have read The Da Vinci Code, and the members of more liberal
Protestant denominations, far from being resistant
to superstition, tend to be much more likely to believe in the occult,
paranormal and in pseudoscience than evangelical Christians.
As we have earlier pointed out
the teaching of evolution and long-ageism has weakened and
undermined the influence of Christianity in our culture. This has opened
the way for an unprecedented flourishing of all manner of cults, occult
practices, and bizarre superstitions, even among
the ‘intelligentsia’.
Romans 1:21–22 says that people who refuse to honor God descend into
‘futile thinking’ and although they think they are smart they become fools." CMI
