Love him or lump him, billionaire Elon Musk made a comment at a recent conference in Los Angeles that struck at the heart of a debate raging today in Quebec and the rest of the Western world, about so-called State neutrality and the place of religion in the public square. And in this, he seems to have understood what we've been saying for a long time at Quebec Life Coalition (QLC): if you remove Christianity from the state, you don't end up with a state without a religion, you just end up with a state with a different – and false, and dangerous – religion. 

This is what Musk said:
"If you take away religion, I think you get something in its place which is worse than what was there before. You get something destructive like the woke mind virus taking the place of religion. You get dystopian de facto religions that are self destructive."

Elon Musk is right on this point. He’s saying what any honest and informed person knows: a truly “neutral” state is impossible. Over time, something always takes the place of religion. Musk calls it the “woke mind virus.”

What used to be religious practices are now replaced by secular substitutes. Plenary indulgences are swapped out for carbon credits, priests are replaced by journalists, the devil becomes the “cisgender” white man, baptism is turned into vaccines, and God is replaced by Mother Earth.

Quebec, in running headlong away from Christianity (public prayer ban, anyone?), is only making things worse. The result is a much worse off society.

Musk concluded with the following thought: "We need some sort of revival of religion or coherent philosophy that people can get excited about."

Wow. That sums up the work of QLC since its inception in 1989 : bringing back true religion and a coherent philosophy of life to Quebec, through prayer, outreach, information, and action.

Prayer: From our flagship, twice yearly 40 Days for Life pro-life event, to our daily "Vigil 365" prayer vigil outside of Montreal abortion facilities, to our yearly pilgrimages over the summer to our Advent prayer campaign for the unborn, to the recently re-energized "Quebec Prays" province wide anti-prayer-ban initiative, we have been soaking this province's soil with prayer, to prepare the way for a Godly restoration;

Outreach: Our petition campaigns (like our bilingual petition asking the QC gov't to admit that post-abortion trauma truly exists), our social media activity and our news website, not to mention our regular Theovox news shows and, starting this fall, our new show, all contribute in waking people to the need for faith, family and life to be defended in La Belle Province;

Information: In addition to news, we also work to inform people about that "coherent" philosophy that Musk is alluding to. In fact, we translated a book --the Last Superstition by philosopher Edward Feser-- to demonstrate exactly how far gone Western societies have strayed from reason and faith and how to bring them back to sane thinking about faith, family and Life.

Action: Our March for Life in Quebec City, our other actions (press conferences against the public prayer ban, etc.) as well as our promotion of the annual Ottawa March for Life, are all ways we put our reasoned beliefs into action. And we don't stop at Marches, but we also help pregnant women in need with our "Enceinte, inquiète?" (Pregnant, worried?) pregnancy service.

We are doing, with the help of donors like you, the heavy lifting in Quebec, to bring about deep and lasting positive change to this province. We have begun a 3-week fundraising campaign to help fund our work going forward. Our goal for this 3-week, online fundraiser is 20,000$. We need your help, today (click here).

DONATE here, today.

With your generous donation, we will be able to continue our prayer, outreach, information, and action across this province, preparing the way for a turnaround that will not only benefit Quebecers, but all of Canada.

Thank you for your fidelity and generosity. Please give today.

For Life,

Georges Buscemi
