During a speech at the University of Notre Dame on Friday, Attorney General William Barr blamed “militant secularists” for what he claims are attacks on religious values, CNN reports.
According to Barr, issues the American society is currently dealing with — such as violence, and opioid addiction — are a product of decades of efforts to undermine religious values.
Perpetrated by what he describes as “militarist secularists,” this campaign of sorts has created “angry, alienated young males” who commit violent attacks, according to Barr.
“The campaign to destroy the traditional moral order has coincided and I believe has brought with it immense suffering and misery. And yet the forces of secularism, ignoring these tragic results, press on with even greater militancy.”
The attorney general argued that the secularists that are ruining the American society belong to a “new secular religion.”
He singled out progressives.
