Product Description
In this timely and wide-ranging book, one of America's leading public intellectuals explores the rise of radical secular humanism as a religious experience. London shows that while secular humanism has it's saints, sinners, and even its quasi-religious rituals, it is too anemic and self-centered a philosophy of life to serve America and the West in its battle against the threat of radical Islam.

A Must Read! November 18, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
"America's Secular Challenge" is a must read for everyone. It clearly and concisely demonstrates how "secular humanism" is destroying us from within. It isn't so much that secularism as a personal choice is bad, but rather the pervasive and relentless drive by secularists to impose their views on everyone else through their manipulation of our courts, public discourse, and the imposition of their PC views. Political correctness is, after all, nothing but the curtailment of freedom of speech.
We must fight this with as much vigor as we fought the nazis and we are fighting the islamists; this is destruction from within.
The book demonstrates the insidious nature of this movement, and provides us with the facts we need to fight it. And it is a one-night read!

Mr. London presents an organized, precisely targeted, and lively warning about the rise of radical secularism and militant atheism. I am going to buy several copies and start handing them out.
Could extremist secularism be doing as much damage as extremist religions? September 5, 2008

Could extremist secularism be doing as much damage as extremist religions? "America's Secular Challenge: The Rise of a New National Religion" is an examination of secularism and its impact on America. Herbert London, president of the Hudson institute, lays out his argument against something that the country so often ignores in the idea of tolerance and political correctness. "America's Secular Challenge" is a top pick for anyone who thinks political correctness may be going too far.
Essential Reading September 4, 2008
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a book you are going to think about for a long, long time. You are going to recommend it to all your friends. It highlights the essential tool we must utilize to defeat radical Islam and their terrorist methods-a return to our traditional values. London's brilliance is that he creates his air tight case in 97 very accessible pages. This one or two night read will arouse in you many years of thought.
A necessary insight August 24, 2008

Most people in the United States appear to have no idea what secular humanism is, even though they are surrounded by it every day. It is the only religion for many people, but they often cannot even recognize it as a belief system. This book is short and easy to read, but it conveys very important information. It ought to be assigned to high school classes to give the students a better understanding of modern culture.
