Religious Right: There ain’t no dang separation of Church and State! Except when …

A city wants a church to  help maintain the roads to and from the church …

"It makes no sense to tax churches and to limit their ability to provide their services, and it does damage to the constitutional separation between church and state," argues Erik Stanley, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, which is representing Catholic and Baptist churches in the city of 10,000. He acknowledges that church-state separation is generally not an argument made by his conservative Christian law firm; but in this instance, he says, "There should be a separation here."

 

Them there Founding Fathers meant for Amerika to be a Christian Country and we should pass laws against anyone who says otherwise.

 

The Alliance Defense Fund is the Religious Right equivalent of the ACLU … in their own venue as active in court as any advocacy group in the U.S.

 

One of their hallmarks has been seeking legal recourse to deal with the persecution complex many political religious celebrities regularly cry foul about.

 

But not in this case …

 

in this case to the Religious Right separation of church and state is the lesser of two evils.
