Yes, at first glance the title of this piece appears to be provocative (indeed, some probably stopped there and refused to continue reading). However, it is provocative only under two conditions. First, it is provocative when viewed within the frame of reference to which we’ve become conditioned – that is, that Progressivism and religion are examined as totally separate and distinct topics, a conceptual version of the so-called “separation of church and state” if you will. Second, it is provocative if this writer had deliberately crafted it just to get a reaction.....

The term “progressive” sounds like “progress”, a good thing, which is why it is mystifying that conservatives apply it to their opponents.

Is progressivism anti-Christian? If so, it is Satanic.

Yes because it goes against the ideals of Christianity.

It is the same logic with being Christian-—I don’t know how you call yourself a Christian and believe in leftist ideology.

Yes. Even assuming the best about it and its disciples: "The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

YES!
see below:

>http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2014/07/diversity-destruction.html<

...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one’s own family. 

Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.

Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse. 
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse. 
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday’s Diversity is today’s intolerable lack of Diversity.

Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.

Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.

Satanic?

How about Platonic?

The ultimate goal of progressives is a Utopian, kumbaya, we will all get along, society. Since formal religion doesn’t exist in Utopia, it can not be Satanic.

In Utopia, there is no evil, therefore, the personification of evil expressed as satan does not exist.

QED

I think I can speak to this because I have lived in Chicago for all my adult life. And here is the birth of Obama progressivism. Before Obama it was merely Chicago Progressivism. The Nation of Islam and Christian “baptist” preachers both practiced it. Progressivism, is not so much anti-christian as it is almost every thing we on Freerepublic.com hate.

The concept is that society can be made better and fairer by allowing the elite to require changes of society that the ignorant people follow, like quotas, and big intrusive government. Progressives believe that if a city is 40% black then the government and every company, school, or board, should be 40% black. Schools should be 40% black in their pupils, their board, and their teachers and their vendors. And those with more money should pay for those with less.

Its socialism. But its socialism with the concept that there are segments of the population that require forced participation. And an elite class makes deals with unions and government officials and big business to run the place in a way that every group of people get their share. And groups are determined as black and white and Hispanic and Asian. Or gay, and straight or women and men. The only group that is really not allowed to have a spot at the table is white christian straight males. This group is assumed to be the favoured group that needs no support. Unless they work for the government or a union.
