White House met with secularist organization on national policy
Written by Thomas Peters

A press release from the Secular Coalition for America:

Marking the first time in history a presidential administration has met for a policy briefing with the American nontheist community, on February 26 the Secular Coalition for America will engage with White House officials on issues of great concern to the secular movement

Some of their specific goals:

Fixing Faith-Based Initiatives: Taking all necessary steps to make certain that religious organizations receiving federal funding for social welfare programs cannot discriminate in hiring on the basis of religion, that program beneficiaries are never subject to proselytizing, and that secular options are made equally available to those in need.

"There has been a movement toward theocracy in America that is too often overlooked," said Faircloth. "As a result, good Americans, including children, have been harmed, and men and women in uniform denied their rights. This strikes at the very core of American values. The Secular Coalition for America seeks justice for every citizen, regardless of creed."

While justice for every citizen is indeed a laudable goal, I fail to see how religious institutions have, on the whole, impeded that goal.

After all, our nation's founding fathers, on the whole, were deeply religious, but that did not prevent them from founding a government that seeks to be just to all citizens, regardless of creed.

Would the Secular Coalition for America have a problem with this scene?

It depicts our first Continental Congress.
