== Secular humanism is a religion ==
[[Secular humanism]] rejects the supernatural and is a type of atheism.
In the 1961 U.S Supreme Court case of [[Torcaso v. Watkins]] Justice Hugo Black commented in a footnote, "Among religions in this country which do not teach what would generally be considered a belief in the existence of God are Buddhism, Taoism, Ethical Culture, Secular Humanism, and others."<ref>[http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/367/488.html Torcaso v. Watkins]</ref>
John Calvert, a lawyer and [[intelligent design]] proponent declared:
{{cquote|The Seventh Judicial Circuit of the Court of Appeals of the [[United States]] held that atheism is a [[religion]]. Therefore, it cannot be promoted by a public school. Currently, public schools are often unwittingly promoting atheism through a dogmatic and uncritical teaching of [[Evolution|materialistic theories of origins]].<ref>[http://www.highway30cofc.truepath.com/Articles/SpiritualWarfare;AtheismisaReligionPart1.pdf Spiritual Warfare; Atheism is a Religion Part 1
