By Brad Cooke
What does more damage to our society: gay weddings and adoptions or the hateful literature of the religious right who would move to prevent them? An interesting question to be sure, and one that was foremost in my mind this past week while I watched arrogant fundamentalist Christians expound on the "damage" to our children… Continue reading Homophobic dogma enraptures Christians

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."This is the opening of the First Amendment of the American Constitution. In 1791, the American people altered their constitution to entrench the separation of Church and State.
