<span>The summary of the Peterson v. Wilmur Communications, Inc. lawsuit is already addressed in the question. The case had a summary judgement based upon two parts. Is the belief called "Creativity" a religion? And if Creativity is a religion, was Peterson demoted solely due to his belief in Creativity? This answer will only address the first question in the case.
Creativity does claim to be a religion, but does not claim any belief in an afterlife, or any sort of supreme being. The court had a two pronged approach as to the issue of Creativity being a religion. Were the plaintiff's beliefs "sincerely held"? The court ruled that the plaintiff did claim to sincerely believe in Creativity, and that the defendant offered no contrary evidence. So the first prong of the test was upheld. The second prong was does the plaintiff consider his belief in Creativity to be religious and that Creativity is a religion? The court considered that prong to also be true considering that the plaintiff was a Minister in The World Church of the Creator, and swore an oath upon becoming one over three years prior to the law suit.
So with the above summary in mind, let's look at the available choices.
a religion under title vii of the civil rights act of 1964, as unorthodox, and even as repulsive, as it was.
* This is a true statement and the correct choice.
not a religion under title vii of the civil rights act of 1964 due to it being so unorthodox and repulsive in nature.
* The court did declare that Creativity was a religion, so this is a bad choice.
not a religion under title vii of the civil rights act of 1964 because it espoused racial separation, which violated title vii.
* The court did declare that Creativity was a religion, so this is a bad choice.
a religion under title vii of the civil rights act of 1964 because the claimant engaged in deity worship, a prerequisite to recognize any religious practice.
* Yes, Creativity is a religion. But no, it does not believe in a God or a supreme being. So this is a bad choice.</span>

Answer: C. the lies of American leaders about involvement in Vietnam.
Explanation:
Daniel Ellsberg was the military analyst who leaked "The Pentagon Papers" to the American press in 1971, revealing top secret information about US planning and decision-making in regard to the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam War had a major impact in shifting public opinion toward distrust of government. During the Vietnam War, a major credibility gap became apparent in regard to what the government was telling the American public vs. what was actually taking place. The term "credibility gap" was used by journalists who questioned the optimistic picture that the Lyndon Johnson administration painted regarding how the war was going, when investigative reporting showed a much more negative reality.
The credibility gap grew especially apparent when the Pentagon Papers (classified documents) were leaked to the press in 1971, showing that the government indeed had been deceiving the public about the plans and conduct of the war over the years.
