Federal Court Rules That Atheism Is A Religion

As schools open this fall we need to be vigilent to ensure religion does not sneek inside the schoolhouse doors. School administrators need to monitor the classrooms to be sure that everyone prays at least once a day. Anyone who does not pray is practicing atheism. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has just ruled that atheism is a religion. So obviously we must ensure that no one practices, teaches, or even appears to support atheism in our public schools. We must keep the wall between church and state tall and firm, and requiring everyone to pray is the only way to keep the religion of atheism out of our schools.

Our National Anthem

We all know the words to our National Anthem... or do we?

Our Nation Anthem is about our flag continuing to fly over Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore. But there is more. There is a second verse:

Here are the words of the second verse of the official anthem of the United States of America:

O thus be it ever,
when free men shall stand,
Between their loved homes and war's desolation!
Blessed with victory and peace,
may the heaven rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must,
when our cause it is just;
And this be our motto:
"In God is our trust!"
And the star-spangled banner
in triumph shall wave.
O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave.

Notice who gets the credit for rescuing America from the greater superpower of that time... God (heaven).

God, the power that hath made and preserved our nation. Yes, in God we must trust.

The Motto of the American Revolution

We don't use mottos much anymore. At one time it was common to create a motto that, in a few words, summed up the spirit of an organization, group or event. A motto gives a focus, defining what a group is about.

Our founding fathers had a motto they used to express the spirit of the Revolutionary War.

That motto was: No King But King Jesus.
