Church of Socialism violates Separation of Church and State

"Think how clever this is: the Education Establishment and the rest of the Left use the Constitution, specifically the purported separation of church and state, to drive all religious observances out of the public schools.

Okay, perhaps an argument can be made for that. But no argument can be made for what happens next.

Meanwhile, they sneak in their own religion. An alien, imported creed, you might say; basically a cult. For our discussion now it’s best to think of this foreign religion as the Church of Socialism.

It has its doctrine, its ideology, its saints, its holy people, its view of the world and the universe, and humanity’s place in that world. The Church of Socialism actually leaves very few things unknown and unformulated; its catechism is long and explicit. And this bossy Church routinely runs roughshod over the rights of students and parents.

You might object that the Church of Socialism is not a religion because it has no god. So? Buddhism has no god. Hinduism has many gods while Confucianism reveres dead ancestors. Taoists believe in a Way or a Path that must be followed, which is actually quite analogous to the mystical beliefs we find among Socialists. Point is, people worship many things. The Church of Socialism functions in the lives of its believers as a religion. That is, as an all-encompassing belief system based ultimately on faith. That’s the decisive point.

Adherents of the Church of Socialism can be the most uncompromising true believers you will ever encounter. Every detail of human existence has been worked out by their big visionaries (think: prophets). Members of the Church of Socialism do not need further thought...."

Marxism/Socialism embraces Atheism. Atheism is a religion [There is no god vs. there is a god(s)]. There must, therefore, be a separation of Marxism/Socialism and State, just as there is a separation of Church and State (and just as there should be a separation of Education and State.

“Marxism/Socialism embraces Atheism.”

But Atheism does NOT emprace Marxism/Socialism. Atheism, freethinking, humanism, etc. mostly embraces Science, and phenomena that can be proved, measured, and retested. Faith is the belief in things which cannot be proven, only believed in.

“But Atheism does NOT emprace [sic] Marxism/Socialism.”

So, what?

“Atheism, freethinking, humanism, etc. mostly embraces Science, and phenomena that can be proved, measured, and retested.”

So, what? (even if you can prove your assertions)

“Faith is the belief in things which cannot be proven, only believed in.”

Yep. That’s Atheism.
