>>>I think it describes the situation in Kansas accurately. The sectarian views of a particular religious group are being imposed on the whole community.<<<
Not to be confused with the secular views of a particular anti-religious group that are being imposed on the whole community and nation.
Please feel free to list any specific instances of this you've encountered.
Meanwhile, I'll listen to the crickets.

Reply: Secular means "not based on religion." Our Constitution is secular--it never mentions a god or Christian doctrines. It specifically mentions "no religious test." This is NOT anti-religious. Please consider...
The role of government is to deal with civil matters, and in doing so neither to promote religion nor to hinder personal beliefs. Every property owner is free to put up Christian or Hindu or Muslim or Jewish symbols--but, as the Supreme Court said in 1962 (Engel v. Vitale), "It is no part of the businesss of Governments to be composing prayers."
Secular is the neutral position. Government is to be neutral.
Throughout all time, churches and cults have tried to capture the power of government to promote their own agendas. There are many instances. Secular means that the power of priests and pastors is to be separate from the power of civil authority.
