Deuteronomy 3:22, "Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you."Karl Marx called religion the "opiate of the masses." If someone believes in God, they believe that there is a higher power than government, and a higher power than their community. If there is a higher power, then that means tyrants and oligarchies are not the ultimate power, even they have to answer to God. And, since fear is the key component in the playbook for controlling the masses, those who have Faith in God fear not, for they know that God not only protects them, but that if they are snuffed out of their life here on Earth by whatever may serve as a threat, a better life with the Lord awaits them.
Faith causes problems for systems of power and tyranny. If someone has no fear because they place their fears in God's Hands, how can they be controlled? How can fear be used against the fearless?
This is why the progressive commie left Democrats in the United States, and the globalist commie left internationalists, are doing everything they can to snuff out the Holy Bible. They cannot tolerate a people who are not paranoid about the fears that the modern tyrants are offering. We don't fear climate change because we know that it's a natural occurrence that God has under control. We don't fear COVID because God tells us not to fear the things of the world. He's our comfort, He's our protection, and He's the architect of everything that happens. It all works for His Glory.
Religious Freedom is the natural right that appears first in the First Amendment for a reason. Religious Faith appears first on Alexander Tytler's Cycle regarding Systems of Liberty for a reason. The Holy Bible is referenced 34% of the time* in the writings and quotations by the Founding Fathers for a reason. As Benjamin Franklin stated, "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom." And as George Washington said during his Farewell Speech, "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports."
Without putting the Creator first in prayer and our actions, if our Faith is not the primary force behind everything we do, we are not capable of maintaining a system of liberty.
Psalm 34:4, I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
They need you to be afraid if their solidification of power in America is to work. They need you fearful, and your Faith gets in the way.
The paranoid hard left, however, are blinded to the truth
I have no fear for I have the Lord, and in the end the Truth Shall Set Us Free. The paranoid hard left, however, are blinded to the truth. They cannot see it. Their religion of secular leftism is too powerful, and have them so indoctrinated that they even deny the truth when it is presented to them. In fact, I am expecting negative comments to this article. They can't help themselves, they hate God, hate the truth, and are too bought into their leftist faith too much. The truth evades them.
* THE PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTIONDr. Donald Lutz, a professor of political science from the University of Houston, conducted an exhaustive ten-year research of about 15,000 political documents of the Founders' Era (1760-1805), and recorded every quote or reference to another written source. This list of the 3,154 citations of the Founders was analyzed and published in Volume #78 of the American Political Science Review in 1983. The results would give quite an accurate measure of the influence of various sources of thought on the Constitution. The results were surprisingly contradictory to "modern scholarship." By far, the most often quoted source of their political ideas was the Bible. This accounts for over one-third (34%) of all their citations. The next most quoted source is not even cited one-fourth as frequently (Montesquieu–8.3%, Blackstone–7.9%; and both of these men have a Christian view of law). Another 50% of all references can be attributed to authors who themselves derived their ideas from the Bible. Therefore, about 84% of the ideas in our Constitution are based either directly or indirectly on the Bible.

** I don't believe COVID does not exist, or that people do not die from the disease. It exists. It was engineered to exist by the Chinese and their progressive left globalist commie counterparts, and people have died as a result of the disease. But, I believe the disease was overstated, claimed to be stronger than it actually is/was, the death numbers have been extremely exaggerated, and the purpose of the disease was not to kill a bunch of people, but to train them to obey the government and big corporate mercantilist interests by getting the jab. I also believe, looking at the real numbers, that the vaccine is more deadly than the disease.
