"The successful demands and justifications for at least six critical freedoms - freedoms of speech and press, rights for the criminally accused and for higher education, and freedoms from slavery and discrimination - were principally made by religious speech based on Judeo-Christian faiths, not by secular speech based on other belief systems"--
