Don, I should clarify, as with the Steinem remark above: it isn't a religion, but it is TREATED like a religion by those who want to put their religions in charge. It's the straw man in this argument, the "religion" it is okay to discriminate against. "They're bad, we're better. We're moral, we're righteous. They have no god, so they can't have morality." (Morality is a term that didn't start with christianity, by the way, it was co-opted). Can't beat up on minorities, women, or organized religions (in theory) but no one is out there defending this amorphous group of citizens with a homogenous wish for a secular state.
