Atheists lose another case at Supreme Court

Michael Newdow, whose previous First Amendment challenge sought to remove the reference to the Almighty from the Pledge of Allegiance, strikes out yet again


by Warren Richey

The US Supreme Court on Monday refused to take up an atheist challenge to the use of the phrase, "So help me God," at the conclusion of the presidential oath of office during a president-elect's inauguration.

The lawsuit initially asked a federal judge to block Chief Justice John Roberts from reciting "So help me God" while administering the oath in January 2009 to President-elect Obama. It also sought an order preventing two members of the clergy from conducting an invocation and benediction during the 2009 inauguration.

A federal judge threw the suit out, ruling that the atheists lacked the necessary legal standing to bring the litigation.

The American Humanist Association is going for the ugly -- in the name of no God.

Their newly announced 200,000 advertising campaign ditches last year's fairly benign good-without-God approach and rips into the nastiest quotes it can cherry-pick from Scripture. It's an attempt, says their web site...

"... to challenge the intolerant view that atheist and agnostic humanists can't be good without Bible derived morality. We're taking a hard look at what is included in religious texts."

So they'll contrast this passage from Hosea 13:16...

"The people of Samaria must bear their guilt because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground; their pregnant woman ripped open."

with a quote from Albert Einstein (and other "non-theist luminaries such as Katharine Hepburn and Richard Dawkins").

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the object of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is modeled after human frailty."
