Godless: The Church of Liberalism

This book was written by Ann Coulter in 2006.

"Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious,' which is what one would
expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a
religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the
supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own
total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In
other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known
as 'religion.'"

Coulter's thesis is that the nebulous concept of "liberalism" holds every single characteristic of what is a religion. She maintains that,

• Liberalism is a religion. The liberal religion has its own cosmology, its own explanation for why we are here, its own gods, its own clergy. The basic tenet of liberalism is that nature is god and men are monkeys. (Except not as pure-hearted as actual monkeys, who don't pollute, make nukes or believe in God.)
• Liberals deny, of course, that liberalism is a religion – otherwise, they'd lose their government funding. "Separation of church and state" means separation of your church from the state, but total unity between their church and the state. [1]
• ACLU and Evolution. "The ACLU sued a school district in Cobb County Georgia, merely for putting stickers in biology textbooks that urged students to study evolution 'with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered.' According to the ACLU, an open mind violates the 'seperation of church and state,' which appears in the Constitution just after the abortion and sodomy clauses."
