I am painfully reminded of the not forgotten PRAYER ON THE SCHOOL WALL controversy a while back. I do believe in separation of Church and State but not in the hateful spirit of the New Atheism-which has declared open war on both the Islamic faith and the Catholic and Protestant faiths. Ask ANY pre-Vatican II Catholic about the significance of Good Friday ? A whole , quite profound, theology of suffering is built up on this mystical holy day of OBLIGATION.

It is NOT a paranoid delusion that religious freedom is being attacked in this country. In the gay marriage controversy people forget that the Catholic position was no different from Jewish Orthodoxy. Yet Bishop Thomas Tobin here was made an ogre for just representing his ancient Catholic faith.

By the way , I have can live with state certified gay marriage. And legal abortion( no church can dictate civil law ).

It is the New Atheism that is doing the devil's work in the cultural wars. God bless its own high priests, ex-Trotskyist Christopher Hitchens and crackpot biologist Dawkins ! ( In Hell winking is the Objectivist, Ayn Rand , militant atheist author of " The Virtue of Selfishness ".
