Onward, Christianist soldiers? | csmonitor.com

The religious right has more clout than most, no doubt. Each day it sems like they get bolder and more brash, but I'd like to ask three things.

First, are these people really christian? They seem to have abandoned all moral duties and sympathies in favor of a very streamlined agenda (the formation of Americaq into a christian state). Can we really say their ideology has anything to do with traditional christianity? Personally, I say no.

Second, are these peopel growing in power? I've heard conflicting reports, but what I do know is church membership & attendance is declining. What I also know is that the most vocal members of these groups are the strict, hardline fundamentalists. Are their ranks growing as other groups' influence is shrinking?
