But, of course, darwinism/secularism/materialism/socialism is not a religion, it is a philosophical worldview consistent with the scientific method; hence not covered by the First Amendment's Establishment clause. That only applies to grubby fundamentalist Christians. [/sarcasm off]

I must have missed it. Which part was the sarcasm?

What????

Correct.

it is a philosophical worldview consistent with the scientific method; hence not covered by the First Amendment's Establishment clause.

Also correct.

Incorrect -- it applies to the other kinds too, as well as to other religions.

OK, if scientific naturalism is a religion, what isn't a religion? Is calculus a religion? This reminds of a Calvin and Hobbes comic, where Calvin says math is faith-based.

I love this Darwin = socialism argument. Way to tie all of the things republicans hate together. But of course, creationism/puppy-killing/Maoism isn't a religion.
