In an extraordinary decision, Judge Camarata denied the Burkes' right to the child because of their lack of belief in a Supreme Being.

The stomach churning news of the day - if you are an Atheist, Pantheist, or refused to fill in the blank, "Religion" on adoption forms, uh, well. . .read on: Leave a comment

What a crock of crap. Unbelievable. I bet they refuse people who are religions other than Christian, too.

That's Pantheist. The judge is basically saying you have to be monotheistic. So much for freedom of religion.

Unbelievable! Before we know it, we'll be living in a freaking theocracy! Or you will. I'll be moving to Canada.

The amazing thing is the state; New Jersey. I could see Alabama, but New Jersey?

Scary stuff.

"the child should have the freedom to worship as she sees fit, and not be influenced by prospective parents who do not believe in a Supreme Being."

Hm. I wonder how they deal with children who see fit to worship Satan as "Almighty God"--do they remove them from the influence of Christian parents?

If this is upheld, rebel teens could pounce on it as a frightening legal precedent.

That is fucking ridiculous. Just because her adoptive parents don't believe in a 'Supreme being' is no reason to take her away from a family who obviously love her, as long as they don't force their beliefs onto her (And that goes for Religious people as well) and instead let her make her own decision when she's older, I don't see the problem.

Talk about fucking with that poor girls mind though. Taking her away from the only family she knows is going to do more harm in the long run.
