Faith-based government

President Bush has gone “under the radar” and around Congress to spread his faith-based initiative throughout the federal government, according to a new study.

The study, compiled by researchers at the Rockefeller Institute of Government in Albany, N.Y., is one of the first comprehensive looks at administration efforts to redirect government grants to churches and other faith-based groups.

...Joe Conn, a spokesman for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, called the new study “very alarming.”

“This administration seems obsessed with faith-based solutions for everything,” Conn said. “What they don’t seem to worry about is the Constitution.”

Even the Department of Agriculture now has its own office of faith-based initiatives, Conn noted.

“Maybe they’re going to pray for rain,” he said.
