Losing the separation of church and state

A prime, ongoing goal of the Christian right, and violating the Constitution, is now seen as acceptable enough that there is a bill being touted in Congress to institutionalize marrying religion and politics.

Jane at Priaire Angel links to this article:

Churches that mistakenly mix religious and political activity would face reduced fines but keep their tax exempt status under a provision in a corporate tax bill the House is to consider this week.

The proposal, which could invalidate the strict separation of religion and politics in current tax laws, was introduced by House Republicans the same week President Bush's re-election campaign targeted 1,600 Pennsylvania congregations to recruit voters.

Coincidence?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
