Religious Right Wants 'Constitutional Armageddon'

Barry Lynn, National Executive Director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State gave an apt description of the religious leaders for whom Senate Majority leader Bill Frist is working. Lynn said,

"The people he's dealing with are not going to rest until there's a constitutional Armageddon in which the religious right controls all three branches of government."

The circus surrounding the Schiavo case and the power politics of "Injustice Sunday" have clearly awakened many people to the theocratic agenda of the Religious Right.

Britt Towery at Ethics Daily does a good job of describing the dangers that abound when church services promote political agendas.

Tomorrow a conference in New York City will be filled with people who once thought that Fred Clarkson was overstating his case by describing the right as "theocrats." Today they know just how close the "Religious Far Right" is to controlling all three branches of our government.
