freedom of religion is a cornerstorne of our democracy

and looks like, if more judges like this one are allowed to bench, another nail in the coffin of democracy.

An Indianapolis father is appealing a Marion County judge's unusual order that prohibits him and his ex-wife from exposing their child to "non-mainstream religious beliefs and rituals."

The parents practice Wicca, a contemporary pagan religion that emphasizes a balance in nature and reverence for the earth.

Cale J. Bradford, chief judge of the Marion Superior Court, kept the unusual provision in the couple's divorce decree last year over their fierce objections, court records show. The order does not define a mainstream religion.

mainstream? what would that be? christianity only? this country is slowly moving towards what we used to think of being third world sad.
