Based on their worship of the doctrine of 'separation of church and state', secularists and skeptics are constitutionally obligated to do the OPPOSITE of what Jesus would do.

There's one little problem with iowan15's statement:
An even bigger problem: the phrase "Separation of Church and State" while it does not have a root in the Constitution, it DOES have a root in the sixteenth century credo of the Anabaptists (later the Baptists). So, the evil secularists are... using... a Christian concept for evil?
Are you so indoctrinated that you can't even fathom that others don't need something to worship?
Separation of Church and State is a logical position that the Founding Fathers formed, based on what they knew of the havoc that religion wrecked back in the Old Country.
The separation just means that personal religion should be kept personal, and public state affairs should be handled in the public arena, not in church. (Yup, it goes both ways, ya know.)
This might well be exactly what Jesus would do, considering what he said about praying in private (as only hypocrites pray in public), and "Render unto Caesar".
Actually, it's many Religious Rightists that seem obligated to do the OPPOSITE of what Jesus would do, as stated in Matthew 25:35...
Slippery slope panic propaganda. Denial of the fact that secular is the opposite of cult, using psychological projection. That the separation of the church and state necessity allows by design the practice of religion, without allowing a particular cult to oppress the others. Frivolous demonization of society and those outside of the poster's cult with conspiracy theories, evidence that the constitutional clause is right and mandatory and that the poster's ideology is concerning, potentially abusive.
Confused?
