Michael Newdow Interviewed
• Skeptics & Atheists
Q. Is this a lark for you, merely an intellectual exercise?
A. I would say it is both. It's an intellectual exercise and a principle exercise. I believe strongly that upholding the Establishment Clause (the constitutional clause that bans government from establishing religion) will save people's lives. Just look around the world, there is nothing special about Americans. What is special is our Constitution. You know, they threw rocks at little kids in Ireland three years ago because they were Catholics or Protestants. Look at India or Pakistan and the Middle East and Indonesia and Kosovo and Rwanda. People get killed because of their (religious) beliefs all the time.
