Funny you bring up Hegel. He had some admirers who are very well known to the Jewish community: Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Marx, Engels, ...
Nothing funny at all. Hegelianism is the curse of the world today. It is today considered unthinkable to go back to the (in some ways) saner days of 1959 because that would be "theocracy." Yet America in 1959 wasn't a theocracy. Oh, but it would be today!
Free Republic is itself full of atheists who insist that as the world evolves and develops that an objective moral order is evolving spontaneously right along with it . . . in the words of Hegel, "the universe is creating G-d."
This notion of continually "onward and upward," of a constant impulse towards progress in a universe that at first had no meaning whatsoever, is what justifies every ideology that rejects the eternal laws given by G-d.
