Sorry, I haven't acquired the habit of keeping handy links to everything I've read. You surely have noticed other threads in the past months where I mentioned things to this effect. Now, as my memory may serve me
- faith based charities were handed a lot of money during Katrina relief, while Red Cross wasn't allowed into the city
- in the list of recommended charities to donate to, on government's website at the time, only two out of twenty-something weren't faith-based
- the dispute about "under God" or not
- "in God we trust" on the money has replaced the "e pluribus unum"
- ten commandments in public places dispute
- creationism introduced into public schools, evolution on its way out
- the stem cell research decision based on religious motives
- marriage laws dispute influenced by religious groups
- what are the chances of anyone non-religious being elected to any high position?
