“Statolatry has become the principal form of worship in contemporary America. People erroneously talk about ‘separation of Church and State’ when ‘the State’ has replaced ‘the Church’ as the idolatrous venue for worship. As the Church had its calendar of Holy Days of Obligation and sacraments, so too the State has its own sacred holidays, icons, protocols and rituals. Each day in rote, millions of captive children in government schools recite the Pledge of Allegiance, their solemn oath to this sacred creed, without giving it cursory reflection or thought.”
