. . . this book is about apostasy, that gradual but radical dissociation of man from God whose history is as old as creation, having begun among the angels in heaven even before it began on earth in Eden.

"Ecumenism in religion, like pluralism in politics, is indeed the only sensible, natural way of integrating irreconcilable differences. . . . there were no wars of religion in classical times. Only by healing the wound to paganism can the Beast with so many heads and crowns be put in condition 'to make war with the saints and to overcome them' (Apoc. 13:7)"

"The first nation in the world to be put together according to a pre-fabricated written Constitution, the United States of America was already providing the working model for the new pagan society before it left the drawing board. Although God is nowhere mentioned in the founding document, He was not absent from the deliberations of the framers, whose Deism was simply another name for the cult of the old Supreme Being, lately installed as the God of Masonry. Why else would George Washington have deleted the name of Christ from his proclamation of the first Thanksgiving Day? America may well have been Christian at one time and may still be so in places, but this could never have been said of the United States, whose Founding Fathers were aware even as the Constitution was adopted, that God must be kept within juridical bounds if their experiment were to succeed."
