Believe it or not, Secular Humanism has officially been granted status as a religion in and of itself, by the Supreme Court, in Torcaso v. Watkins, 1961 #70, as well as the U.S. Appellate case of Washington Ethical Society V. District of Columbia, 1957 #71. Thus, our nation has forbidden the traditional religion of Christianity, and simply substituted another “new” religion of Secular Humanism/Atheism in its place. The Secular Humanists, themselves, however, have happily assumed the religious status with regard to the “free exercise” clause, but not with regard to the “establishment” clause. They have, in essence, taken on two identities in order to manipulate the courts and the system. This is how they manage to retain the benefits of a full-fledged religion, as Christianity does (such as tax exempt status), and yet, unlike Christians, are allowed to continually propagate their beliefs (such as evolution) throughout public schools on an unequal playing field. In other words, Christianity now has little to no voice within the walls of our public schools, or public square, but the religion of secular humanism has carte blanche, according to the courts. These legal discrepancies have been disingenuous, at best. As a result, and as Justice Stewart brilliantly predicted …the Christian religion has been “placed at an artificial and state-created disadvantage”. #72

Christianity and Secular Humanism/Atheism are both belief systems. And a person’s beliefs are what he lives by, what he follows. Secular Humanism is in fact not a true religion however, because religion, by definition, must include the respect and veneration of a higher power (God). However, since the Supreme Court has recently declared Secular Humanism a religion, then why should it be afforded special status above the teachings of any other religion … that is, the religion of Christianity in the Public Schools? Remarkably, this judicial inequality has been allowed to flourish for the last 34 years or so …. even though we boast a large majority of Christians in this nation. The Christian majority simply does not rule. This begs the question: Since when does a system based upon democracy rule according to the minority? Much less, a very small minority?
