40. "Secular interests"
One of the many things that are troubling about this guy, is that he knowingly redefines words with impunity to make his "arguments".

The word "secular" does NOT mean "opposed to religion"; it merely means that the subject in question does not contain religious elements. He is actively redefining this word on every show that I've seen.

He has his audience believing that "secular humanists" are pursuing an active agenda of undermining their right to worship. This sort of illogical double talk is intentional.

Most nights I watch the first few minutes of O'R to see what he is NOT discussing, and to see what subject he is attempting to substitute for the news he obviously SHOULD be discussing.
