The Religion of Macho is about the cultural changes that the West underwent during the 1960s. Or, in other words, it is about the rise of the left and how it changed our perspectives on our emotions and our ideas about crime. Fundamentaly, we went from being a Christian culture to having a "Religion of Macho" We went from thinking negatively about crime to thinking more positively. This was done in order to accomodate the Blacks and their high crime. As Whites used to imitate Jesus, they now imitate the Blacks or their bad attitudes about crime. As Whites used to worship God, now they worship the Blacks and the other non-Whites. Hence, the Whites now have a Religion of Macho. The book shows the many similarities between traditional Christian theology and the ideas that comprise the left. As part of imitating the Blacks, the Whites started to increase their crime rates during years of American racial integration, like on 1964. Today in the United States, there are an extra 9.5 million White crime victims every year as the result of integration. There were increases not just in the United States, but an extra 23 million every year in Europe and 82 million around the world.

I was frankly surprised at both the readable quality of the London/Smith study -- a book truly well-written for the college-educated masses -- and the mountains of hard evidence it marshals for an amazing theory: that white crime, yes, crimes by whites, soar as blacks advance as role models. The bar graphs of white crime jumping at each uptick in black "civil rights" victories are facts that cannot be gainsaid, but which should disturb us and move us to reflection -- and action to protect us from a crime-jungle America.

A great deal is continually being heard about "democracy," its blessings, benefits, etc., and this country's "manifest destiny" to impose it, violently if need be, upon the peoples of the world, at no matter what cost to our continuing loss as to not only the true meaning of the word, but to the erosion of our moral, ethical and spiritual foundations.
As an example of one of our losses, "political correctness," once a term used derisively to denote anyone adhering to a particular political or social line without thinking, has now become the "norm," or a desired form of "mainstream thinking." Non-thinking has become acceptable; inquiry into "delicate" subjects is not "respectable." Whereas true democracy permits virtually unlimited forms of free expression, it is now quite apparent that free expression and free inquiry are now severely circumscribed by the intellectual and moral cowardice of the "mainstream" establishment.
Richard London and Richard Smith's new book, "Religion of Macho," thus serves two very high purposes. One, it shows that some possess the moral courage to inquire into the question of how racial characteristics can be identified and related to behavior, and thus serves us with an example that such moral courage has not died out completely. Second, the book proves that such inquiries can be rationally and scientifically made, and the data rationally and scientifically interpreted, leading to very convincing conclusions.
Science indisputably has made enormous strides over the past several decades in understanding human nature and how that nature drives behavior. As an example of a conclusion being scientifically and rationally derived from data scientifically and rationally interpreted, the authors go into detail into one aspect of racial differences observable to scientists who study these areas in some depth. The authors say, in so many words, that Whites and Asians exhibit a high degree of emotional repression.
They do not use "stereotypes" in presenting their data and the conclusions drawn therefrom, but start afresh in their approaches to the problems and scientifically describe the many sources contributing to the problems. The authors convincingly present their case that one of the co-efficients of this increased emotional represssion in Whites and Asians is that they exhibit a high degree of self-control, a sublimating process manifested not only in higher intellectual, philosophical, spiritual, and material achievements, but also in considerably lower crime rates.
On the other hand, Africans exhibit a high degree of unrepressed emotional behavior. Again, the authors start afresh in their approaches to the problems resulting from such an emotional makeup and again scientifically describe all the varied sources driving these problems. And again they convincingly make the case that one of the co-efficients of this is that Africans exhibit a low degree of self-control, manifested in lower intellectual, spiritual, and material achievements, in addition to considerably high crime rates when compared to Whites and Asians.
It must be emphasized again that the authors present all their arguments in detailed, clear, and convincing fashion, that is, in a very scientific, closely reasoned, and objective manner. The observations that they make scientifically are re-affirmed to all of us in our daily lives as we observe what goes on around us. To most people viewing life squarely and clearly, the observations and conclusions of the authors come quite close to the truth.
One of the key points the the authors make is attributing the higher emotional repressed state of Whites and Asians to vestiges of a religious past which imposed inhibitions on thoughts and emotions, and thus preventing overt forms of behavior which were deemed unacceptable to the furtherance of and progress of human society. As religious ideas gradually lessened their hold over humanity because of continual attacks from the Left, they were replaced by a secular worship of nature, and, most importantly, the worship of humanity per se in the many diverse forms to be found.
What the Left hoped for has not and probably never will materialize: a "progressive" society, with humanity at its center, which will continue to improve itself, and bring the world all the higher intellectual, philosophical, spiritual, and material achievements by and for all peoples of the world.
This hasn't happened, and most likely never will, because the evidence shows that simply saying that racial differences don't exist doesn't make it true. And what is closer to the truth is that if racial differences are not recognized, and the attempt is made to identify all races as having the same basic positive characteristics, and "lumping" them all together, in the physical as well as the intellectual, moral, and spiritual sense, then the result is that, indeed, the less refined elements will pull down the higher, leading to the destructive behavior of the higher imitating the lower, which has happened in all eras and will continue to happen, as the authors so aptly point out.
In summary, whether one agrees with the authors or not, and they are indeed very clear-sighted, detailed, and persuasive, their moral and intellectual courage in presenting their findings has to be admired, and should serve as an example to all of us that if we give up our right to discuss these ideas, we have surrendered a great deal of who we profess to be and the ideals we represent.

I have been editing books for many years, and I can say that I have never come across anything quite like Religion of Macho. The authors very clearly shows how Christianity and Biblical narrative structure secular culture and politics: secular notions of social causality and morally problematized objects are derived from Christianity. In addition, he shows that males naturally function at high levels of aggression unless cultural ideals dictate otherwise. Men are naturally inclined to "go ape."
I see very clearly in public the dynamics he describes. This book has changed my experience of the world and has allowed me to perceive it with greater depth and unity. One academic has described Religion of Macho as "revolutionary," and I am inclined to agree. I would like to see this book in print. I believe that it would forward the Western project of understanding the human condition instead of remaining subject to religion."
