Reply #56: separation of church and state [View All]

[ithacan]

HUGE wedge issue, and we get to turn religion to our advantage.

In particular, fundies are only a minority of Repub voters, though they have inordinate influence in the party.

On the other hand, libertarians and moderate republicans in NE and Midwest (and west coast?) are really really turned off by the religious right stuff. Many don't know to what extent Bush is a religious right guy.

I say, push this issue as hard as we can. NOT anti-religion, but FOR principle of firm separation of church and state.

Plus, it's the right thing to do.
