Darwinism destroying secularism
Rediscovering Secular America
‘Secularism’ is no longer the robust perspective that we find in Thomas Paine, but a new kind of artificial religion based on scientism, and the obsessions of people like Dawkins and his culture.

After eight years in the Bush wilderness — and an even longer period of ostracism by the Washington political establishment — a rising demographic of like-minded Americans and a new president are guiding us back to our roots as a secular nation.
