And as for this little tid-bit. A secular adoption service doing the same thing couldn't POSSIBLY be doing that out of fear of a social backlash. It would have to be the same kind of bigotry that the catholic adoption service is, right?

It's MORE likely that a secular adoption service does this from the religious right social stigmas that are in place right now. For fuck's sake, Saya, a candidate for the president of the USA is virtually UNELECTABLE if he were an atheist right now. You mean to tell me that a secular charity wouldn't feel those same pressures to toe the conservative line?
