Amen sister. ;) It's absolutely outrageous the extent to which our right to freedom of religion has been ignored and trampled in favor of a conservative Christian political agenda. "Christian" and "political agenda" should be completely antithetical, and yet...
The fact that you even need to post a disclaimer that you are not anti-Christian in order to support separation of church and state is an alarming state of affairs. Heaven (or whatever, lol) knows if you hadn't, somebody would have jumped on you for it. In fact just writing here I have this almost uncontrollable urge to shout I am Christian (though of such a spiritual and non-religious point of view I would no doubt be glommed into the category of Pagan or New Ager ie: going to hell). These days any hint of disagreement with the propaganda of the conservative Christians is suddenly perceived as Christian bashing and un-American of all things. How did that faulty logic become acceptable? Never mind, I was here and I saw it happening after 9/11 but I hoped it would level off.
The whole thing is unconscionable and you better believe I am going to take a closer look at the articles you linked and let my reps know what I think. Thanks for the post!
