you must not be that familiar with philosophy. there were many secular and atheist philosophers. some pantheists and some christian. like i said before, most dealt with how we know things to be true so they were as skeptical of religion as scientists. in fact i believe that philosophy progressed as science progressed. the first philosophers were scientists, but with the enlightenment and the reformation, religion was undermined and secularism entailed. philosophers were the thinkers riding the tide of science and secularism. you need to checkout post modernism as to the relativity of truth. the modern age started with science and we are now in the post modern age with regards to philosophy. that is why we have the emergent movement in christianity. a response to post modernism.

Amazing, many of the problems that came into the church were brought in by philosphers, now we should read their writings to better apply the Bible to society today?

The statement or argument that '' THERE IS NO ABSOLUTE TRUTH" is an easy argument to refute all that a person must do is don't respond by saying "IS THAT TRUE". If truth is not absolute or relative then we can never know it. Therefore the absolute statement about truth not being absolute is self defeating.
