Phil Johnson calls "scientific naturalism" the new "established religious philosophy of America" and goes on to say that "like the old [established] philosophy, the new one is tolerant only up to a point, specifically the point where its own right to rule the public square is threatened." He continues: "The establishment of a particular religious philosophy does not imply that competing philosophies are outlawed, but rather that they are relegated to a marginal position in private life. The marginalization is most effective when formal; government actions are supplemented by a variety of intimadating acts by nongovernmental institutions such as the news media."
