It's funny, isn't it, how many religious organizations haven't noticed what a huge threat the ACLU poses to religion?
The following statement:
quote:
Religious expression is not threatened by the enforcement of the Establishment Clause, but is protected by it. The Establishment Clause promotes religious freedom for all by protecting against government sponsorship of religion. While the signers of this letter may differ on the exact parameters of the Establishment Clause or even on the outcome of particular cases, we all believe that the Establishment Clause together with the Free Exercise Clause, protects religious freedom. *
... was signed by, inter alia:
African American Ministers in Action
Baptist Joint Committee
Friends [i.e. Quakers --- Dr A.] Committee on National Legislation
Presbyterian Church (USA), Washington Office
Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund (SALDEF)
The Interfaith Alliance
Union for Reform Judaism
Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations
United Methodist Church, General Board of Church and Society
I wonder why Baptists and Methodists and Presbyterians hate Christianity so much. It's baffling.
Perhaps this link might provide some sort of clue to the clueless.
