Your reach should always exceed your grasp.

Secular Humanism is opposed to other religions; it actively rejects, excludes, and attempts to eliminate traditional theism from meaningful participation in the American culture.

God laughs, it seems, because God knows how it all turns out in the end.

Sermons remain one of the last forms of public discourse where it is culturally forbidden to talk back.

"Religion" can no more be equated with what goes on in churches than "education" can be reduced to what happens in schools or "health care" restricted to what doctors do to patients in clinics. The vast majority of healing and learning goes on among parents and children and families and friends, far from the portals of any school or hospital. The same is true for religion. It is going on around us all the time. Religion is larger and more pervasive than churches.

I am dead against trying to keep religious conservatives out of the political debate. The tactic of exclusion is self-defeating.

Secularism is not only indifferent to alternative religious systems, but as a religious ideology it is opposed to any other religious systems. It is therefore a closed system.
