Oh, I’m quite sure of it. Russell was an outspoken atheist, and Buckley wrote an entire book about how Yale was too accommodating of “secularism”[1]. In the 1950s.
[1] I find the way that cons talk about secularism rather annoying. They often use the term interchangeably with atheism or being outright hostile to others being religious, etc. Secularism is just the absence of giving a reach-around to a given religion, but these guys act like it’s some kind of ideology. This, they bitch about constantly, in a country founded on freedom of and FROM religion. We were founded as a secular nation, intentionally and a certain type of person has been pissed about it ever since.
