The radical "death-of-God" theology championed by William Hamilton in the 1960s marked a controversial breaking point between traditional Christian thought and an emerging "pop theology" that embraced secular culture through venues like Playboy magazine. Through close reading of Hamilton's works, comparison with traditional theological sources, and analysis of contemporary responses from Thomas Ogletree, James Sanders, and Reinhold Niebuhr, a troubling pattern emerges: Hamilton's fragmented, autobiographical approach conflates personal religious experience with objective theological truth. His reduction of God to a mere "meeter of needs and solver of problems" fundamentally misrepresents the biblical God, particularly from a Jewish perspective. While Hamilton's movement reflected broader cultural secularization trends, it failed to provide coherent theological foundations, instead projecting individual psychological limitations onto cosmic reality. Rather than engaging with authentic biblical theism, this pop theology effectively demolishes a "straw god," carrying potentially dangerous anti-Judaic implications within its radical Christian atheism. The analysis reveals how popular culture shapes contemporary theological discourse while warning against reducing transcendent mystery to technological problem-solving.
