Rick 'Disgusting Internet Meme' Santorum, failed Senator, failed Presidential candidate and failed human being, wants secularism to be classified as a religion...so it can be banned from the classroom. Frothy told poisonous fundamentalist crackpot Bryan Fischer:
“I think we should start calling secularism a religion,” Santorum told a grinning Fischer. “Because if we did, then we could ban that, too, because that’s what they’ve done: they’ve hidden behind the fact that the absence of religion is not a religion of itself.”
Frothy Rick goes on to explain his 'reasoning' to the (presumably) still grinning Fischer: secularism has 'moral teachers',
ergo, it's a religion.
Now, concentrate, Ricky, while I explain this to you: 'morality' is not exclusive to religion.
Take the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. It's a 'moral' tale, the moral being: don't lie.
Aesop's fables, The Iliad, the Odyssey, The Aeneid, The Thousand and One Nights, Grimm's fairy tales, Beowulf--all contain 'moral' lessons. Clearly, only a numbskull would call any of them a 'religion'.
You, Rick, are that numbskull.
Y'know, Rick, you want to lay off this 'thinking' stuff: you just aren't cut out for it. Opening your nasty, pursed little rat-trap of a mouth and making noises is not 'analysis' and illogical drivel is not 'thought'.
Stick to what you do best: hating anyone who isn't just like you. And sticking your nose into things that are none of your damn business, like women's reproductive rights. Play to your, erm...strengths. We'll all be a lot happier.
