Bill Barr spoke at Notre Dame Law School about religious freedom Friday.
Barr claimed that religion was under attack and blamed pretty much everything ill on secularism. He never addressed lying; just other issues he finds deplorable, like LGBT rights and addiction.
“Modern secularists dismiss this idea of morality as otherworldly superstition imposed by a killjoy clergy; but, in fact, Judeo-Christian moral standards are the ultimate utilitarian for human conduct,” Barr said.
He even claimed secular values are being forced on people, especially students.
“For example, New Jersey recently passed a law requiring schools to adopt a LGBT curriculum that many feel is inconsistent with traditional Christian teaching,” Barr said.
“In other words, religion helps frame a moral culture within society that instills and reinforces moral discipline,” he said.
