This issue is whether or not our government should be infusing religion into the public schools. Our churches are very strong in this nation and I think that's great and everybody should have the ability to worship as he or she sees fit. I choose to worship not believing in God and government should not thrust a religious idea down my throat.
Michael NewdowI don't think people understand - atheists are really a disenfranchised minority in this country. There are six constitutions right now - state constitutions - that say things like what South Carolina says that, "No person who denies the existence of a supreme being shall hold any office under this Constitution."
Michael NewdowA federal judge did as he was supposed to do and upheld the Constitution. We should be thankful that we have judiciary that will do that.
Michael NewdowI believe in the Constitution. The Constitution says that government isn't supposed to be infusing religion into our society, and so I asked to have that upheld.
