Come to think of it the reason Secular Humanists break the commandment about stealing ( stealing freedom) is that they break the Second Commandment.

The Second Commandment is about idol worship - the make of graven images.

Before you're done I expect there's no Commandment that everyone except those people you consider "Good Christians" doesn't universally break on a daily basis.

Tacticalogic,

Secular Humanists have atheist materialism as their religious philosophy that guides all of life's decisions. The God of Abraham is so far below this that He isn't even on their radar.

Exodus 20:3 "Do not have any other gods before me."

Atheistic Secular Humanist certainly put a **lot** ahead of Him!

There is a big difference between **trying** to abide by The Commandments on a daily basis, praying for forgiveness, repenting, and resolving to do better,...and...what the Secular Humanists do.

The Secular Humanists mock them, reject them, consider them to be a human invention, ignore them, and feel that their own superior intellect is above the commandments. I suppose that is the same as "another god before them (me)".

By the way, I checked Wikipedia. Various religions separate the Commandments slightly differently. Some combine the First and Second and consider worshiping something other than God as the First Commandment. Some don't. This is a small and irrelevant matter

The Catholic and Lutheran churches list wrongful use of the name of God as the Second Commandment.
