Newdow Biography
Mike Newdow is an average guy who actually started his first religious institution while in junior high school in New Jersey. He finished high school there, and then undertook some university work in assorted locations. In 1977, he became an ordained minister, and has since lived his life according to the tenets of the Universal Life Church, which basically state: "Do what's right." In 1997, he started his second religious institution, the First Amendmist Church of True Science (FACTS). Although that ministry holds a firmly atheistic view of the world, it strongly supports the ideals behind the Religion Clauses of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
He is presently working on obtaining his Master of Public Health degree at the UCLA School of Public Health. In 1996, he was awarded First Place in the Delta Omega Honorary Society of Public Health Student Essay Contest, writing on "Empowering the Disadvantaged: Social Justice in Public Health." In 1998, he obtained his Doctor of the Universe Degree. The Rev. Dr. Newdow has the usual varied hobbies, including writing, music, theater, and sports. He has traveled fairly extensively, and dabbles in computer programming.

ULC used to be a mail-order ordination outfit. Anyone could get a 'ministry license' just for the asking. Universe degree? Probably similar.
