Proletariat morality is “the belief that whatever advances the proletariat and communism is morally good, and whatever hinders the proletariat and communism is morally evil” (Myers & Noebel). Marxism divides all people into two groups, the Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat. Christianity acknowledges that God created all people with different skills and abilities, some to be owners of capital and others to work for those that own capital. Marxism mistakenly assumes all people can exist as employees with no people owning any capital or retaining any power. Someone must be in charge, and, as we learned from history, the consolidation of power to a few people under a communistic system still has not eliminated the two classes of people, the owners of capital and the rest of the people. The means to that goal is convincing all the Proletariat that they will be better off if they revolt and overcome the Bourgeoisie. Christianity teaches us how the Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat can co-exist in harmony by recognizing their accountability to the Supreme Being, God. The Bible explains this working relationship in Ephesian 6:5-9.

The term proletariat morality can be explained in different ways. The proletariat is working-class people employed by a business; usually, one of the lowest social or economic classes. The business owner is defined as the bourgeoisie. Morality can be defined as a practice of moral duties of knowing right from wrong. Marxism tends to focuses on class struggle and ways to ensure equality. It teaches that wealth needs to be distributed equally is the best system of government. Just like secularism, marxism is about material things; Christianity is about spiritual things. Marxism compared to Christianity can be tricky as both show compassion towards the poor.

New Spirituality focuses on individual pursuits and having a higher consciousness is how pantheism doctrine is conceived. Pantheism believes that the universe that was created by God is actually a God in and of itself. It's the doctrine's belief that all the things in the universe like laws and natural forces are god and not God himself. They wish to not believe, honor, or celebrate God for his work because they believe that a personal God had a hand in creating the things of and within the universe. Christians acknowledge God for who He is...the creator of all things and that goes against New Spirituality because their belief is that is along the lines of being egotistic in nature. According to Myers & Noebel (2015) "Whenever humans plant seeds of a mass centralized overhaul of society, the noxious weeds of corruption, violence, and oppression inevitably spring forth from the parched soil."

Pantheism is the belief that God is in everything, is everywhere, and in everyone. They believe that he is in all creation, including human beings, but not a personal or holy God. Some pantheism say that the world is just an illusion, and only God is real. As a Christian, I believe that the world is real, however, my faith is based on "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen," according to Hebrews 11:1. The scripture teaches us that there is another level of reality unseen to us. A good scripture of reference is Ephesians 6:12, "We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." Pantheists overlook sin and the need for repentance. They believe everyone is able to meet with God without the intercession of Christ. As Christians, we believe that the Spirit lives in us, and the way we reach Him is through the Spirit, which Christ left us. Romans 8:34 tells us that, "Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father where he is interceding for us." All creation was made by God, and all people were made in His image, but we are not all filled with His divine nature. The Holy Spirit is a gift from God which has been given to us who believe in His Son alone for salvation and the forgiveness of sins.
