Abstract
This article argues for restraint in interpreting the NASW Code of Ethics in ways that assume and enforce an ideological orthodoxy, whether secularist or religious. Orthodox secularism is neither compelling in itself nor required by the Code. It is inappropriate for a professional code of ethics to impose a narrow ideological orthodoxy or party line.
