“All cultures are the incarnational outworking of a religion or combination of religions. When you deny a transcendent God, this does not eliminate the need for a god at the top to make the system coherent. It just means that th applicants for the position of deity are all, to use one of Hitchen’s favorite words, mammals . . . If there is no God above the system, then the system is god. All societies are religious organisms, not just the ones with a religious exoskeleton . . . All human societies are theocracies. The only issue that confronts us is which theos we will serve. The atrocious cultures are the ones who serve atrocious gods” (God Is, pp. 95-96).
