Politics teaching about false religion by Dr. Donald Boyd

Many people want nothing to do with religion, but politics will introduce them to religion whether they want it or not. Do they recognize this, and can they recognize the difference between false and true religion?

Today’s cataclysmic results in the English Council elections showed not only that Reform UK is breaking the two-party dominance in British politics, but also that false religion continues to use politics to force its presence upon our attention.

For long enough atheistic secularism ruled the roost but its fluid morality could not cope with the dogmatism of islam. The pantheism in the Green agenda began to introduce gender fluidity into politics, particularly through the influence of Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP Administration in Scotland, but trans-gender ideology began the exposure and folly of this false religion.

False religion is becoming more evident in the political sphere.

At the last general election in 4 July 2024 it became obvious that international politics had entered UK politics. The Labour Party was acutely aware of “the muslim vote” and there were websites mobilizing it. When he won the Rochdale by-election, George Galloway declared: “Keir Starmer, this is for Gaza.” A Green Party councillor called his local election victory a “win for the people of Gaza” to the embarrassment of his Green Party.

False religion has been forced upon our attention by the changing culture of Britain, but it is becoming more notable in the political process.

On the one hand the “woke” agenda resulted in political leaders being unable to define a woman and on the other hand the failure to deal with rape gangs throughout the cities of Britain arose from the fear of the sub-culture in which it is known to exist.

People may ignore religion but false religion will not ignore them and it uses politics to promote itself.

The Gaza-Israeli war continues to influence UK politics, even local council politics. In today’s elections, an 18-year-old, aspiring medical student Maheen Kamran won the Burnley Central East election as an Independent candidate to become a Lancashire County Councillor. She wants to encourage public spaces with “segregated spaces” to prevent “free mixing” between muslim men and women. She was inspired by the Gaza war to enter politics.

Slowly, people are learning that religion will eventually catch up on them through politics. Will it be true religion, or false religion, and will they know the difference?

Which religion will now dominate?

During the past decades, the two-party political system has been declining in Britain, but it has taken the political leadership of Nigel Farage to finally break through the two-party dominance. This was not easy. Since Labour rose to prominence in the 1920s to overtake the Liberal Party as the main opposition to the Conservative Party, the Liberals and Lib Dems tried and failed to recover their former position. The SDP failed to break through in the 1980s but Nigel Farage through UKIP, Brexit and Reform UK has shown the way by showing the need for Reform.

The landslide victory of Boris Johnson’s Conservatives in 2019 and of Keir Starmer’s Labour Party in 2024 were the direct result of Nigel Farage’s use of the Brexit Party and Reform UK. Now his guidance has led to today’s landslide for the Reform UK Party in the local council elections, going from no councillors to over 650 councillors at the time of writing, and still rising.

The two dominant Parties, although given massive majorities in recent years, have manifested their inability to govern and Reform has found itself in the right place at the right time. However, Farage had to prepare and build a Party to be in that place. Bible students are very familiar with the phrase “for such a time as this” but Christians did not prepare for this time so that Reform was the only option for change and managed to capitalise on the general disillusionment with politicians who could not be trusted, who hid their agenda from the public and abused their large majorities in the process.

Their lack of accountability to the electorate reflects the secular lack of accountability to God.

It is about time that people learned that false religion influences people even if they do not realise it. The secular way of expressing this is to say that there are different worldviews influencing people’s opinions and voting. Christianity, islam, international socialism, and the atheism of secularism are four irreconcilable international worldviews that are competing in Britain at present.

The rise of both Donald Trump and Nigel Farage manifest the need for change from these false religions. Only yesterday the US President appointed a Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty. He has identified the decline of “religion” as a matter to address. The question is which “religion” will replace the false religions coursing through western nations? Does US President Donald Trump know what is needed? Have Nigel Farage and Reform UK any idea? It is time to listen to the Prince of Peace.
