"Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone."
Oh, and not "the religion of secularism" -- that's not a real religion. As he points out:
"But in recent years, the notion of the separation of church and state has been taken by some well beyond its original meaning. They seek to remove from the public domain any acknowledgment of God. Religion is seen as merely a private affair with no place in public life. It is as if they are intent on establishing a new religion in America – the religion of secularism. They are wrong."
I'm not quite sure who "they" are, but yes, it would be quite wrong to establish any religion in the public spaces of America. Including the religion of secularism, whatever that means. Not having the Ten Commandments in a courthouse is not the same thing as having a Christopher Hitchens-penned missive about how there is no god. I don't want have either one, no matter how caught up in my secular religious fever I might be.
I mean, I know the guy belongs to a cult that is stealing away good Christians from Jesus so he has to do everything he can to get the religionistas on his side, but seriously are you motherfucking kidding me?
