107. Secular Fundamentalism?
Are you sure you know what you're talking about? If such a thing exists, it would have to act precisely as religious fundamentalism, in that it tolerates no other institution other than the secular state. Hence religious belief of any sort in the public sphere becomes intolerable and therefore must be suppressed. If you would please enlighten me as to where such a pernicious and stupid philosophy is expounded on in either the Constitution or the Bill of Rights I would be much obliged. Until you can do so, I would argue that a secular fundamentalism is anthetical and repugnant to a strict adherence to the Constitution.
