Now it's time to share a dirty little secret. Federal judges have not only restricted our free exercise of religion, they've also established an official federal government religion. Legal scholars and historians have long been writing about it. The paragraph below contains my own summary of that discussion. So one should not blame it on the authors of the books and essays.
Judges are the priests of our civic religion.
Supreme Court justices are the high priests. The bogus constitution that the judges made up is the civic religion's bible. It fills the need of the people to venerate something. As we discussed in an earlier chapter, actions of our judicial branch of government can usually be understood by studying Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince. One lesson it taught stood out from all the others.
