"...Their vision of America is far different from ours."
Institutionalized Christianity in the U.S. has grown so extremist
that it poses a tangible danger to the principle of separation of church
and state and threatens to undermine the religious tolerance that
characterizes the country, the national director of the Anti-Defamation
League, Abraham Foxman (pictured right ; ), warned in his address to the League's national
commission, meeting in New York City over the weekend.
"Today we face a better financed, more
sophisticated, coordinated, unified, energized and organized coalition
of groups in opposition to our policy positions on church-state
separation than ever before. Their goal is to implement their Christian
worldview. To Christianize America. To save us!" he said.
Foxman proceeded to describe the process and to name names: "Major
players include Focus On Family. Alliance Defense Fund, the American
Family Association, Family Research Council and more. They and other
groups have established new organizations and church-based networks, and
built infrastructure throughout the country designed to promote
traditional Christian values."
