The sponsors of the " Religious Freedom Amendment " seem to
think that Christianity is as vulnerable to persecution in U.S.A
today as it was in ancient Rome in the time of Nero.
Where is the evidence of contempt for the country's religious
traditions? Where has the venerable Bill of Rights failed miserably
to protect freedom of worship ?
Is the religious Right in fact looking for an American Constantine
to protect a national Christian religion ?
The Christian point of view already insinuates itself everywhere -
in the press, on radio and TV, in the schools, in the military, certainly
in the Congress . This is not a " conspiracy " but simply reflects
the fact that most Americans are believing Christians.
The genius of the Bill of Rights is that it protects EVERYBODY.
Do we want to throw old fashioned Americanism away in order to
become the mirror image of one those repressive Islamic countries ?
God is alive and well in the American tradition. He does not need
to be " revived " by the far right.
