ABSTRACT
A German worker was brought up in a socialist creche, participated in a socialist hiking club or theatrical group, and these were distinct from middle-class and upper-class culture. Education has been available for all, especially the children, and almost all shared in the popular and Hollywood culture. There has been no American "working-class culture." The major theological figures of America in the 1970s, Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich, disparaged the evangelical ministers for their literalness and lack of theological understanding, and for those reasons, they were never regarded as having any intellectual standing. America is a "Christian nation," a nation that is threatened by secular humanists. "The centers of power in our culture– government, education, media, business and philanthropy are firmly in the hands of secular humanists who are exerting every effort to debase and eliminate Bible-based Christianity from our society."
