Civilisation halts crumbling (for now)

Given the principle that atheists ought to be refused treatment at hospitals run by religious organisations, then clearly the courts of a secular state ought to preclude judges who hold religious beliefs.

The Andrew Bolt politburo will surely agree, then, with Marc Cooper in the LA Times:

Though the [US Supreme Court] ... will be left with six Catholics and two Jews, the open seat should not go to either domination [sic]. Nor should it go to a Presbyterian, a Lutheran, a Methodist, a Muslim or even a Zoroastrian. If it did, that would make nine people who all have one religious principle in common: a belief in religion.

Clearly, the next person to take the bench should be an atheist.

This will surely satisfy the Boltevik requirements of restraint, order and the related discipline of reason.

What’s more, according to the above writer, Thomas Jefferson himself would have approved!
