However, the greater danger I see arises from the mandatory detachment/obsolescence of a Higher Being at all levels of public life, in other words a State Religion of Secular Humanism, which will lead to, ultimately, the loss of the Predicate Author/Authority of Liberty.

The inclusion of a Deistic philosophy in this country's founding was not, as had constantly been the case in the past with state/religion co-ops, to control the masses, but to control the government.

Our Liberty here is predicated on its pre-existing the formation of our government, that it is given to us by our (unnamed) Creator. By effectively shutting out even the slightest mention of a Higher Authority than the State from "acceptable discourse", we make possible the day we effectively deny the basis for our freedom, for our self-government.
