Threat to perverse lifestyles?

Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, Salem Witch Trials, Jim Baker and Tammy Faye. Unbridled religous faith mixed with unlimited political power have never been a good mix. A lot of religous zealots have given up independant thought, because it's simply easier to have someone else tell you what to think (Rev. Jimmy Jones, Heaven's Gate, Sun-yung Moon - Jesse Jackson). A lot of religous and non-religous people want ANY church kept out of the gov't. As recent (and plentiful) events have revealed, power corrupts; even churches are not imune.

The 80's religious right was a bit over board if you ask me.
