But today the Church of England, with 70 million Anglican Communicants worldwide, may be on the verge of breaking apart over the issue of who may marry whom.

I'm sure there were wringing hands back then of "WILL ENGLAND SURVIVE DIVORCE!?" just like today's "Will America survive gay marriage?"

When people abandon their old faith, they do not thereafter believe in nothing. They believe in anything – from New Age mysticism to UFOs to the pseudo-religious cult of Marxism.

Speak for yourself. Because someone abandons your belief structure they're prone to any crackpot theory that comes down the pike? Hey I think the Egyptians said the same thing.

This Darwin Day could be used for contemplating how we arose by evolution from primordial slime on a godless hunk of rock hurtling without meaning or purpose around a mediocre star soon to burn out in a near-eternal void of frigid darkness.

Hrm, that does seem rather bleak. I know let me make up an imaginary friend to tell me all is going to be okay one day.

Talk about totally missing the point of the article. This is not about atheists or secular humanists being wrong.

This is about a set of religious beliefs overtaking another set. Thomas Jefferson explicitly did not want one religion ruling over another through government power, yet this is happening through the misuse of his own words. (And of course, the sidepoint of the overtakers all being Democrats)
