Episode Synopsis


In The War Against Chastity, R.J. Rushdoony exposes how modern legal and educational systems, under the banner of the First Amendment, have waged an aggressive campaign to suppress Christian morality—particularly the Biblical virtue of chastity. He argues that while Christianity is pushed out of public life, an opposing religion—secular humanism—is now firmly entrenched and zealously promoted in its place. According to Rushdoony, humanism glorifies the natural, fallen man and his unchecked self-expression, making the rejection of chastity not just cultural drift but spiritual rebellion. The fight over sexual ethics, he insists, is just one front in a broader war between two irreconcilable faiths: Christianity and humanism.
