Among other things, Kennedy calls church-state separation 'diabolical,' a 'false doctrine' and 'a lie; propagated by Thomas Jefferson.
The semi-colon betwee "lie" and "propagated" makes this sound like Kennedy is saying that Jefferson attempted to propagate a lie called "separation of church and state."
This is a clever bit of punctuation because Kennedy would never make such a claim about Jefferson.
Kennedy would claim that Jefferson was talking about establishing a religion.

He would also point out that when Jefferson was discussing the issue it was NOT in writing the Constitution but in a private letter to a Religious Association.

Media Transparency isn't very transparent in its blatant lies at all.

This is a hit piece on Dr. Kennedy. I found this to be especially interesting:
He [Dr. Kennedy] also served on the initial executive board of the Coalition for Religious Freedom (CRF), an organization established by Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church while Rev. Moon was in prison in 1984. According to Sara Diamond, "the organization was financed primarily by the Unification Church, which gave an initial donation of $500,000." The CRF's executive board included Jerry Falwell, James Robison, Rex Humbard, Jimmy Swaggart, Kennedy and Tim LaHaye, the co-author of the popular 'Left Behind' series of books" (Spiritual Warfare: The Politics of the Christian Right, South End Press, 1989).
Seems the author found it offensive that so many religious leaders of diverse backgrounds were trying to support the cause of religious freedom. Of course, people who are missing from this list includes people like the "Rev" Jesse Jackson and "Bishop" Gene Robinson.

The most offensive thing about his ministry to the LEFT is Evangelism Explosion which trains people to share the Gospel to the lost. This ministry actually changes hearts and the LEFT and anti-Christians do not like to see this.

A hit piece full of half truths and non truths.
Evangelism Explosion is a way to present the gospel, not a teen indoctrination program.
Pray for idiots like the author.

A hitman, referencing other hitmen. Transparently.
