[00:00:00]American culture changed dramatically after the Supreme Court decisions of the early 1960s and following, which essentially banned the Christian consensus from public education, replacing it with secular humanism.

[00:00:10]Ironically, the US Supreme Court cited secular humanism as a religion in the 1961 case of Torcaso versus Watkins.

Not until after Christians started to challenge humanists as violating the Constitution with the promotion of their religion in public schools, did humanists insist that humanism was not really a religion after all.
