Hey, I am sorry for a spelling error. If you look at the main ideas in the folks I list, you can trace ideas that are the body of thinking for Human Secularists. There are three main branches of this thinking - the Nazi Human Secularists, the Communist Human Secularists and the Socialist Human Secularists (in the U.S. we politely call them Liberals)

Well my pointing it out was a rhetorical cheap shot anyway. :-)
But as for tracing influences...I assume the reason you included Hegel was his influence on Marx...another one of the primary influences on Marx was Adam Smith. You wouldn't want to lose him would ya? :-) Hegel's influence was too wide to reduce it to the Left Hegelians...there were also Right Hegelians. And Nietzsche's influence on the Nazis was a result of their complete and utter misreading of him. Just as I don't think Voltaire would have approved of the Reign of Terror. If Europeans stop listening to Nietzsche and Freud they will lose two of the greatest literary critics who ever lived. So forth...

You
wrote this?! Man
I'm impressed.
This article should see the light of day all over the place.
I think it's timely too, with Bat Ye'Or writing about the coming Dhimmitude of Europe and guys like Lawrence Auster warning about the same thing.
