Religion in America: Church and State
Sunday, December 18, 2005
Sun., Dec. 18 at 10 p.m. ET
Repeats at midnight
Hosted by Brit Hume
Across the country, Americans are getting ready for Christmas and Hanukkah. Fifty years ago, the lighting of Christmas trees and Menorahs would have been as uncontroversial as the notion of loving your country.
But not any more.
For the past half-century, the first country in the world to guarantee religious freedom has been locked in a legal war that has driven the symbols of God and religion out of its schools and courthouses, its statehouses and city halls and threatens to go further.
This weekend, join host Brit Hume as FOX News tour of the religious battlefields of the United States.
We'll show you what the Founding Fathers thought they were doing when they first guaranteed American religious freedom.
We'll investigate how the wall of separation between church and state really gets built in modern America and how Americans are fighting back.
Tune in for a fair and balanced examination one of the most divisive and important issues in America today.
Just got home. I am watching.
I am watching.So far it is very good.
Government will NOT PROHIBIT the free exercise of religion.
Could you guys with cable keep those of us without up to date on how it goes? There are occasions I wish we had it but it's not often enough to justify the expense.
I'm watching.
Right on target so far.
Very interesting program. Should be shown to Congress, 9th Circuit Court and the Supreme Court.
Is islam a religion or a cult?
I'm glad they exposed the anti-Catholic roots of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and the whole secularist movement. Hugo Black was a Klansman who hated Catholicism.
We are grilling "Sacred Cow" burgers tonight! Britt is not painting the US "Supreme" Court in a favorable light!
I say that not as a layman, but as a longtime practitioner of First Amendment law.

Latest column: " 'Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics' in Military Recruitment"
I just wish the rest of Fox would get on the same page as the news division. Fox Sports was giving the generic Happy Holidays greeting on their football games today.

Taping it's when it replays later tonight. Looking forward to this special, hope it gets some play out there on the talk circuit as well. brit's done his homework on this.
I'm impressed. I've been amazed at the DISINFORMATION we have been force-fed by the educational system AND the dinosaur media...
Bravo to Fox News for their attempts to enlighten the public!
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...."
The athiest Democrats of the ACLU like to pretend that those last six words aren't there. But there they are.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court also seems to have forgotten that those last six words are there.
Recording for later viewing! Brit will do a fair piece.
Many cities have been attacked because of this. The city of Edmond Oklahoma had a cross taken out of their city seal. The cross in that seal was the suggestion of my sainted mother, who sat in on a meeting of the seal design decades ago.
She just died a couple of weeks ago, and nothing would make me happier than to have that cross returned.
It's not an "establishment of religion". Merely an acknowledgement that church life played a very important role in the civilizing of the old Indian Territory. It's history, that's it. Churches contributed to the building of that city. That's why the cross was there, and why my mother suggested it. It needs to be returned.
Moral Absolutes Ping.
One of the few times I wish I had TV. Looks very good, and repeats later (according to one comment) later tonight.
Will be back a-pinging soon.
If there is a transcript/summary of the program, post it and ping me.
Merry Christmas!
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist. It's usually busy, just not lately.
