That’s nice you can find something it kinda looks similar to but It explicitly rejects Christian values like faith and superstition, it doesn’t draw on Christian values when it’s rejecting the values bible believing Christians hold contrary to investigation and science putting observation and evidence before conclusions instead of after. If you believe in sorcery or foreskin blood magic or people coming back from the dead or other faith based beliefs I don’t think you’re appealing to the same virtues Watson Heston had in mind.
Refer to my other comment for an explanation on why this comparison is drawn. But, because I get the impression that you seem to think you’re an expert on this topic even though there is fundamental knowledge gaps in what you’ve said throughout this thread, could you explain to me the functional, affective difference between what is explicitly and implicitly Christian in these images?
That “secularism” is a reproduction of Christian values is not a new or even challenging argument, it has been a common understanding of this period since the 1950s and especially so after decolonial scholars and post structuralists started writing about it. I’m excited to see how you disagree, I’m sure it is very well-informed.
