Which just goes to show you how desperate some theocrat wannabes can get.
In order for "secularism," whatever in hell THAT means, to be a
religion, it must have some set of relatively well-settled articles of
faith which have been organized into a more or less formal, and, in any
event, objectively-determined, dogma.
I don't think there is even a "relatively well-settled" understanding
of what secularism is and/or entails, never mind a set of articles of faith
which a secularist must believe. What, pray tell (Oops! Sorry!), therefore,
would constitute secularist dogma?
