The word victory, on its own, doesn't have any religious connotations, no matter how many times you find it in the bible. He, Him, His are in the bible, and none of them on their own have any religious connotations. SBTC can only be 'presumed' to have religious connotations.
Of course thats what RDI does, is presume stuff, like guilt.
Victory! as a closing salutation struck an FBI profiler as 'harking back to foreign powers,' not religion. It was the context the word was used that led him in the political, rather than religious, direction.
Patsy was raised a Southern Baptist. Perhaps you are not familiar with the words to this favorite Baptist hymn (or to the many references to "victory" in fundamentalist Protestant teaching). Just ask any Southern Baptist raised in Patsy's generation who ever attended a revival, or Gospel meeting, if the word "victory" was used in a religious context.
Victory in Jesus
Words and Music by E.M. Bartlett (1939)
Verse1
I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins
And won the
victory.
Chorus
O
victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to
victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.
Verse 2
I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing.
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came and bro't
To me the
victory.
Chorus
O
victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to
victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.
Verse 3
I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory.
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing,
And the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I'll sing up there
The song of
victory.
