Let me get this straight. The acknowledgment and worship of a higher power, a religion, is against the "doctrine" of the separation of church and state. Well then if atheism is now a "religion" then they are to be separated from the state as well. Humm, not a bad decision, can you say "level playing field"?

"doctrine" of separation of church and state. Very nice catch; I missed that. See, they acknowledge truth and logic, neither of which are subject to emperical observation but rather antecedent. That alone disqualifies atheism, as they can offer no answer to these transcendental arguments other than to say "they just are". The Creator is the great "I AM". See it?

I have long held that any belief concerning the after-life is a religious belief.
The First Amendment is clear on this issue. Now the courts have paved the way for some sanity in these separation of church and state suits.
