It's kind of confusing until you realize they mean it in a bad way, but you're not sure how they got there. I don't think that any of us who are political secularists in particular or humanists generally would ever have put those two words together and have them come up meaning "godless atheists" the way GOPers seem to do.

Sorry if I'm drifting OT, but my world-weariness is weighing on me today.
