Blogswarm Against Theocracy

Using God as a running mate might have guaranteed votes from Christian fundamentalists, but it has not ensured good government.

"Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them." -Lily Tomlin


When the Founding Fathers advocated separation of Church and State, they intended that separation of the secular and ecclesiastical continue. The original intent was that the state could neither establish a religion nor interfere with personal religious beliefs.

Too many over-religious Americans seek to undermine the Constitution and to re-insert Church into State and Thinly-Disguised-Creationist-Religion into Education.

To illustrate the fact that theocracies are dangerous, we need only look at the fundamentalist Muslim countries, where human rights are trampled and imams substitute for elected officials.

First Freedom First is an organization dedicated to separation of church and state, and provides resources, including articles and book recommendations. FFF is NOT a "sponsor" of the Blog against Theocracy blogswarm.
