Thanks, I'll go back and research Torasco just in case I missed something. I will also cross-check the case I was referring to just to make sure I am remembering correctly.
In the meantime, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.
God bless you all.
Adios!

Just FYI, from what I've researched the "secular humanism ruled a religion" inference from Torcaso v. Watkins comes from a bit of dicta from Justice Hugo Black who wrote "Among the religions in this country which do not teach what would generally be considered a belief in the existence of God are Buddhism, Taoism, Ethical Culture, Secular Humanism, and others."
The problem is that dicta isn't actually part of the offical ruling and doesn't really carry any legal weight.
