The progressive movement had to destroy the idea of a deity because they could not argue against biblical prophesy to promote their ideas of abortion, Global warming dooming mankind instead of the book of revelations. In other words, they do not believe in Divine Will but in moral realitive solutions put forth by secular atheist scholars. Of course the progressives are Machiavellian in their claiming they believe as evangelicals do when we mostly know they are using that bull simply to gain power.
