God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

A statement by German Philosoper Friedrich Nietzsche highlighting the rapid decline of the dominant influence of religion and the Christian god in 19th century Europe. As is with all societies facing this reality, there's a need to create a new form of ideological compass to govern aspects of the human society in the stead of the religious system. There's a need to reanalyze and re-examine the state of the ideological foundations that have pushed or unhindered the decline of this civilization to the crisis point it is at today, if there is to be any hope for the future.
