Remember George Sr. stated that atheists should not be considered Americans. This is real. George Jr. and Co. are ignoring separation of church and state and giving funding to churches left and right. Money that should be used for legitimate uses.

Amendment 1 (1st for a reason)
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

In Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli, an agreement signed between the United States and the Muslim region of North Africa in 1797 after negotiations concluded by George Washington (the document, which was approved by the Senate, manyh of whom were founding fathers at the time, in accordance with Constitutional law, and then signed by John Adams), it states flatly, "The Government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." signed by John Adams
"This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it!" John Adams

"Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law" -Thomas Jefferson

As to Jesus of Nazareth, my Opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the System of Morals and his Religion...has received various corrupting Changes, and I have, with most of the present dissenters in England, some doubts as to his Divinity; -Benjamin Franklin

"As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion"
John Adams April 27,1797
"Religion and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together." -James Madison

The words "one nation under God" were not added to the Pledge of allegiance until 1953

The words "in God we trust were not consistently added to all money until the 1950s after the McCarthy Era

None of the 85 Federalist Papers written in support of the Constitution reference God, the Bible, religion or Christianity.

James Madison, Jefferson's close friend and political ally, was just as vigorously opposed to religious intrusions into civil affairs as Jefferson was. In 1785, when the Commonwealth of Virginia was considering passage of a bill "establishing a provision for Teachers of the Christian Religion," Madison wrote his famous "Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments" in which he presented fifteen reasons why government should not be come involved in the support of any religion.
The views of Madison and Jefferson prevailed in the Virginia Assembly

"The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries"
"Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise."
"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution." -James Madison fourth president and father of the Constitution

There is no place for religion in public life.

[Ibby]

Amen.

I mean, uh...

Ramen.

[cashc]

There is no place for religion in public life.

Political "life". Not public. People have the RIGHT to "publicly" profess any sort of beliefs.

[glatt]

And politicians have the right to talk about religion and bring religion into politics. It's the government that has no business bringing religion into the government in any official way.

If Bush is religious and wants to talk about his religion, that's fine. He has freedom of religion. He just shouldn't be religious in an official capacity.

Leading writers in the movement are:

Greg L. Bahnsen of the Southern California Center for Christian Studies.
David Chilton. He adopted hyper-preterism, (a.k.a. full or complete perterism) a particular belief about end time events. He was basically ostracized from the Christian Reconstruction camp afterwards.
Gary DeMar.
Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr.
Gary North of the Institute for Christian Economics. He is a prolific author.
Larry Pratt: head of the Gun Owners of America and English First, a group opposed to non-English speaking immigrants and bilingual education. Author of "Armed People Victorious" which documents Guatemalan and Philippine militias and para-military death squads. He was campaign co-chair of the Buchanan presidential campaign in 1996.
John Quade.
Rousas John Rushdoony of the Chalcedon Foundation is often considered the founder of Christian Reconstructionism. Author of Institutes of Biblical Law.
Rev. Andrew Sandlin.

And just which of these wackos has any effect on the election? Hmmm, I don't see the sky falling.

Both Bush assholes are reconstructionists and Mitt Romney is a Mormon, which is openly Dominionists.
Again, Bush Sr. stated that if one does not believe in da lard they should not be considered and American, what a superstitious idiot! Problem is, he was president and his spawn is now president and degrading the separation of church and state every day.
It needs to be exposed and ended.
There is no place for religion in the government, in any way.

[xoxoxoBruce]

W is on his way out. He has made some bonehead moves like giving federal money to church sponsored groups as part of his compassionate conservative bullshit. That said, I don't see him degrading the separation of church and state every day.

I am more concerned with his separation of Constitution and practice.

[Happy Monkey]

Not every day. He's on vacation a lot.

What he set in motion continues every day.
