The establishment clause was transformed from a shield for religion into a cover for the official sanctioning of religious tolerance.

Our culture's tolerance wears thin when religion intrudes on the public discourse... Our schools, courtrooms, and libraries set the tone for the entire society. The message they currently communicate is harsh and unambiguous: religion is offensive and should be kept out of public view.

Each new lawsuit seeks to expand the size of the 'religion-free zone' in the public square.

I honestly believe that in my lifetime we will see a country once again governed by Christians...and Christian values. What Christians have got to do is take back this country, one precinct at a time, one neighborhood at a time, and one state at a time.

Antireligious bigotry is not confined to the classroom.

An Associated Press report by Chicago-based reporter Sharon Cohen in May 1993 examined Christian fundamentalists and concluded that they were prone to 'riots, terrorism - and death.'

Freedom of religion has been replaced by freedom from religion.
