TBC Today

The Church of Religious Science [1], founded in 1927 by Ernest Holmes, was part of the New Thought movement. The universe itself was considered to be governed by a universal consciousness, or mind, of which we are all a part and which can be manipulated by our thoughts, enabling us to tap into its infinite power. The similarity between this religious idea and what the New Atheists espouse is not merely coincidental. This thread of belief has wound its way through paganism and every primitive religion and still remains, in one form or another, in every religion except biblical Christianity. This universal mind is the god of religious science [1] and, like the god of atheistic science [1], is a totally impersonal force that works through evolution.
