GOD HELP US!

As an atheist, I am very disheartened by the Supreme Court once again pissing on The Constitution and  ignoring the separation of church and state. By allowing relief grants from $127 million to $1.5 billion to private religious schools, they have opened the floodgates to providing still more funds to already wealthy tax-free organizations dedicated to faith and superstition. (The Catholic Church is worth $15 billion.) This may please incompetent old bats like Betsy DeVos, but not America's increasing population of atheists, agnostics, and "nones" who feel religion is given enough financial breaks. It's the most discouraging news since the "Church" of Scientology blackmailed the IRS into giving them tax-free status. I wonder if this opens the door to other "faith based" businesses like palm readers, telephone pyschics, and conductors of seances.
