Athiesm can take the mantle of a full blown religion, and the greatest irony is that the athiestic religion of secular humanism, with its tenets of moral relativism, is being firmly and ruthlessly enshrined as the state religion of the USA, despite prohibition in the constitution.

Again I have told you the difference between belief and religion, secular humanism is a direction in philosophy, just like many others and you don't even have to be an atheist to follow it, you can be a tolerant religious person...
I don't see that Gods existance is denied anywhere in the US constitution, do you?
So I really don't see what's ruthlessly enshrined on you, tolerance? [/b][/quote]
Ahh, but the brand of secular humanism championed by the ACLU is not tolerant of religion. Basically, they are trying to force the interpretation of the seperation church and state to mean that all religions are equally invalid and it is the height of abuse of power for any public official to express any conviction about religion, except indifference. Politicians are allowed to be religious, but not to the point that religious thinking taints their policy decisions.
