Today's unflinching, fundamentalist Christian support for the war in Iraq
and U.S. global interventionism (regardless of the facts) was foretold
earlier by anti-rational evangelical attempts to control textbooks, deny
evolutionary principles, and block scientific research -- sure early
signs
of the rise of a new "Age of Empire."

Maureen Dowd, columnist for The New York Times, wonders why the
conservative Christians who control the federal government aren't more

RELIGION
Christian reaction to President Bush's election victory has been mixed.
While many believers are expressing joy and relief at the election's
result, a vocal minority worries publicly that the 'values' discussion
has
been too narrowly constructed. In a nation where the separation of church
and state has been so beneficial for the church, Christians are not sure
how to take pundits' proclamations of a new era of political power for
the
faithful.
