Tom Gjelten, journalist for National Public Radio produced a story titled, “Unbelief As A Belief System: Core Tenet For Christians’ Fight For Religious Rights.”

Quoting me on the religious nature of secularism, Gjelten wrote:

Christian conservatives who are battling for the right to promote their faith in public or official settings see themselves locked in an epic contest with a rival religion. But that rival isn’t Islam. It’s secularism. ‘Secularism and Christianity are distinct, immutable religions,’ writes David Lane, founder of the American Renewal Project, a group he organized to promote more political participation by conservative pastors. ‘Secularism advances the fundamental goodness of human nature, where historic Christianity sets forth a pessimistic view of human nature.’

The notion that secularism can be seen as a religion is ridiculed by many nonreligious people, but Lane and other Christian conservatives have their own Supreme Court hero to back them up: the late Justice Potter Stewart, who served on the court from 1958 to 1981.
