A fear of the "religious right" conspiring to create an "American Theocracy" is something that I've heard here on FR. Pretty silly, really.

They’re so afraid of Christians, but say nothing about Muslims who do want a theocracy. Someone explain that to me.

It must be true. Now that abortion and gay marriage is illegal next we can start shutting down those porno places.

The writing style is far too dressed down for what seems to be an 'official newsletter' of his ministry.
Anyway, for the substance of his piece, many Americans--particularly the elitist liberals who seem to frequent the BBC Have Your Says--do seem to believe that the United States is turning closer and closer to a theocracy.
What do they believe the United States was before?
Today abortion is legal. In Massachusetts, state law considers homosexual marriage legal. Other states have civil unions. (Granted, most of the rest of the states have laws defining normal marriage). Homosexual 'relations' are no longer prosecuted. On the state and federal level, embryonic stem cell research goes on.
If the United States is becoming more religious, then that trend is more reflective of the past, when non-Christians still co-existed with Christians in this country.

..the United States is a Judeo-Christian based society--not a Christian nation, as some state, but a republic based on the moral precepts revealed in the Bible, hence it influences our lawmaking, treatment of life, crime and punishment, property rights and defines family, and other basic institutions of society...
