The New Religion— Secularism A t long last, there is beginning to be recognized the fact that those who disavow any faith in any o f the great religious streams o f thought that have run more or less parallel throughout most o f the history o f our land actually have a faith o f their own. It is being currently called, "Secularism.” These great religious streams o f thought which have been found in the United States almost from the beginning are Protestantism, Catholicism and Judaism. It is to these there must be added this newest, namely Secularism. The secularists believe anything that they desire, but they are quite united in disavowing any faith whatsoever in God as the Supreme Being, the Creator o f the universe and, as a result' they dis believe all o f the objective tenets o f faith which constitute the d oc trines held by the above-mentioned religious bodies.

The Secularist likewise has his object o f faith and can live an eminently religious life. The distinterested pursuit o f truth by the scientist . . . is often a higher religious act, a greater demonstration o f what faith truly is than the most impeccably orthodox utterances o f a Presby terian divine.” The recognition o f secularism as a major religious force in our country today should lead theologians and politicians alike to take another hard look at some o f the more recent trends in the religious appeasement program that has characterized, for in stance, the recent Supreme Court decision in connection with relig ious matters. Why, for instance, should one secularist be allowed to
