Democracy and Religious Fascism in India
"The more the two sides try and call attention to their religious differences by slaughtering each other, the less there is to distinguish them from one another. They worship at the same altar. They're both apostles of the same murderous god, whoever he is. In an atmosphere so vitiated, for anybody, and in particular the Prime Minister, to arbitrarily decree exactly where the cycle started is malevolent and irresponsible. Right now we're sipping from a poisoned chalice: a flawed democracy laced with religious fascism. Pure arsenic."

Judge Orders God To Break Up Into Smaller Deities"the deity known as God has willfully and actively thwarted competition from other deities and demigods, promoting His worship with such unfair scare tactics as threatening non-believers with eternal damnation," wrote District Judge. "In the process, He has carved out for Himself an illegal monotheopoly."-- the Onion (satire)

How the White House Office of Faith-Based Initiatives misses the point
How the White House Office of Faith-Based Initiatives misses the point Putting charity on the tableBush's scheme to subsidize religious charitable groups would turn churches into welfare whores of the Federal bureaucracy. Over 50 years ago, the Supreme Court said that the Establishment Clause requires that: "No tax in any amount large or small... be levied to support any religious activities or institutions." In 1997, the Court reaffirming the position that the state may not fund the "inculcation of religious beliefs." Thomas Jefferson, one of the architects of religious freedom in America, said, "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves... is sinful and tyrannical."
