All this religious talk is about imposing a hierarchy on americans. Any hierarchy will
do as long as it is imposed from on high. Separation of church and state implies that legislation will not do the spiritual work of churches and that churches will not do the legislating work of government. Whether a woman uses birth control should be the woman's spiritual decision. Not imposed from on high by her bosses. Likewise her health care plan should offer her science, not religion. Because that is what it is. If you let catholic organizations trump women's science, that is indeed a slippery slope to the hierarchy the GOP want as many as possible under. Because people, within a hierarchy, are driven to follow 'the rules'. And quite a few GOPers escaped when OWS happened. They didn't like that.
