"The burgeoning assault on the American judicial system by right-wing Christians is an integral part of their attack on 'godless' secular humanism. [...]

"What these self-avowed Christians do not acknowledge -- and what the American public seems little aware of -- is that the war they are waging is actually against other people calling themselves Christians. To simplify: Right-wing and fundamentalist Christians are really at war with left-wing and mainstream Christians. It is a battle over both the meaning and practice of Christianity as well as over the definition and destiny of the republic. Secular humanism is a bogeyman, a smoke screen obscuring the right-wing Christians' struggle for supremacy."

-- Paul Gaston, 2005-04-23 in The Washington Post. (Found thanks to a link from [livejournal.com profile] twistedchick.)

So just now it has been noticed and someone has grown bold enough to say so publicly. I'm so proud of us as a species and culture. God bless Amerika. No one else does.

There are some godless humanists in the fight, not to mention the occasional Jew, Moslem, Buddhist, and such. Still, I agree with the major point.
