Herland Report: Marxist America: Marxism is now filling the void of religion in America, with its fervent belief in man as the “new god”. A 2019 Pew Research Center survey found that Christianity is rapidly evaporating in the United States, only 65 % of Americans now describing themselves as Christian.
This is a shockingly rapid decline, considering that the number was well over 90 % believers in God just a few years ago.
As Marxist atheism is now preached as a new gospel with its hatred towards traditional values, the mainstream media, schools, universities and popular groups such as Black Lives Matter set the tone for a new phenomenon: Marxist America, the new Soviet Union.
Marxist America: As Dmitry Orlov recently stated: The United States is walking along the path of the Soviet Union. Orlov first made the point 16 years ago, upon returning to the United States after watching the collapse of the state atheist, Communist Soviet Union: “There are ominous rumblings on the horizon (for the U.S.). The collapse of the United States seems about as unlikely now as the collapse of the Soviet Union seemed in 1985.”
He then adds: “Since then, I have focused on what I saw as the main causes of collapse in both the Soviet and in the American case: exorbitant debt, problems in the energy sector and unreformable political systems mired in corruption, their elites delusional in their feelings of omnipotence.”
The Soviet Union was Russia leaving its traditional, historical Orthodox values and implementing modern state atheism in a Communist-Marxist system. Controlled by a small, ruthless elite who came to power through a bloody coup d’etat, traditional values were brutally scrapped.
A particularly interesting trait is that “the people” were hailed in speeches, but in reality their role was to strictly obey the totalitarian Communist rulers.
With remarkably little personal freedom, free speech was non-existent. Whoever protested, lost their jobs, their standing in society, were sent to the Gulag concentration camps or killed.

The nihilist ideology asserts that the Creator, who resides in the metaphysical realm which affects our worldly dimension, does not exist. He does not demand justice among men, he sees no evil and there is no judgement awaiting us in the coming, post-death world.
This is a brutal parting from traditional values and religion, which sees the world as split between evil and good forces. Man actively needs to fight for that which is good, regardless of his gender, class or level of education.
Marxism, on the other hand, views man as inherently good. If something goes wrong, society is to blame, not the individual. The Marxist battle is between the classes.
The rich are “inherently evil”, whilst the Marxist working class and the poor are viewed as inherently “good”. Victimhood or belonging to an oppressed minority group thus becomes a goal in itself, a path to glory, an indicator that you are “among the righteous.”
In reality, no Marxist society has ever been able to produce bliss among men. Let me mention some that have tried: The Soviet Union, National Socialism under Hitler in Germany, Mao Zedong in China.
All three produced elites who showed gross negligence of the needs of precisely the poor and the working class, genocide on a mass scale, mass murder of dissidents and a subdued people with very few human rights.

Marxism is the new religion in America, hailed as the solution to the problems of mankind, its leaders enforcing totalitarian mind control.
This religion hating ideology aims at creating a utopian world where man is lord, God is dead and mankind rules itself without any interference by spiritual powers. Man becomes god in Marxism. The ideal is that “the people,” once they take power in a brutal bloody revolution will install an atheist utopia.
The nihilist thought is that the Creator who resides in the metaphysical realm does not exist, he does not demand justice among men, he sees no evil and there is not a judgement awaiting us in the coming, post-death world.
Traditional religion sees the world split between evil and good forces that influence mankind. Marxism views the world as split between evil and good classes in society: The rich and powerful classes are “inherently evil”, whilst the working class and the poor are viewed as inherently “good”. Therefore, the solution to problems in society is for traditional rulers to be removed and a new, Marxist class to take power.
The German-American theologian and philosopher of religion, Paul Tillich has defined religion as “that which is man’s true concern.” Whatever is most important to man, thus becomes his religion, his passion, – his everything.
Whatever is most important in someone’s life, whatever he desperately believes in and advocates for and cannot live without, may be labeled his religion. In the Large Catechism, Martin Luther summed it up by stating that whatever your heart clings to and confides in, is really your God.
In the old classic, Thought and Belief, the Danish sociologist of religion, Rudolph Arendt adds a twist by defining religion as man’s ultimate goal. Man’s religion is his all-absorbing attitude towards existence, the foundation upon which he rests his life.
So we understand that Marxism is a faith: The faith – blind belief – in that man may solve his own problems once the “inherently good” lower classes take power. Once they remove the “inherently evil” upper classes, the world will become a utopian place where all races live together in harmony and evil is no more.
Marxists have blind faith in the goodness of human kind, faith without seeing as no Marxist society has ever been able to produce bliss among men. Rather, precisely in Marxist societies or in countries strongly influenced by its offspring ideologies such as socialism, Communism, Fascism, and National Socialism under Hitler in Germany, as well as its Asian counterparts such as the likes of Pol Pot and Mao Zedong in China, we have seen genocide, gross negligence of the need of precisely the poor and working class, a ruthless socialist elite ruling over the people and the worst atrocities happen against the general population.
“The people” becomes a concept of righteousness, representing all that is good and fair and just. Once “the people” take power, justice will automatically be served.
The Pew Research Center survey describes it this way: “The religious landscape of the United States continues to change at a rapid clip. In Pew Research Center telephone surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019, 65% of American adults describe themselves as Christians when asked about their religion, down 12 percentage points over the past decade. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated share of the population, consisting of people who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular,” now stands at 26%, up from 17% in 2009.”
In most religious systems, man is split between good and evil and needs therefore to actively choose that which is good. This is why there are commandments, why God orders man to do good to others. Since man has an inherent seed of evil inside of him, the tendency towards egoism, selfishness and evil is always present – therefore man must fight the battle in his own heart. Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Taoism and other faiths believe in this.
Marxism, on the other hand, asserts that man is inherently good. If something goes wrong, it is “society” which is at fault. Yet, Marxism has also chosen one “evil” in this world that ought to be fought against and that is “the upper classes”. Once the upper classes are removed in bloody revolutions, and the people take power, all will be well.
There is a definite religious secular Messianism in the Marxist concept of how the world “shall be saved by man”. The utopian belief in the war between the
Central to Marxist thought is atheism. God does not exist. Man must solve his problems on his own. There is no Creator of all things, we do not have a heavenly father. We are alone in the universe, which – by the way – also created itself.
Needless to say, this is a loveless world. It is also equally hopeless, as there is no heaven, no hope for a better future in the next world. There is also no eternal judgement, no Eye of God that sees injustice, greed, rape and all the evils that men do to one another. Therefore, implicitly, man is now free to do as he pleases?
Precisely the atheism found in Marxism weakens the ideology, yet makes it more appealing to those who
Traditional religion is in decline throughout the US. Whether measured by service attendance, financial donations or recruitment, the statistics say – for better or worse – the major faiths are fading in societal influence.
For example, a 2019 Pew Research Center study recorded a 12% decline in Americans defining themselves as Christian over the previous decade – while the “religiously unaffiliated” increased 9% during that same period.”
