Image via WikipediaI mentioned the FREEDOM FROM RELIGION FOUNDATION some time ago and how they are getting to be quite the activist front in the war on religion? Maybe I should say, efforts to stem illegalities by religious groups?
Anyway, Governor Rick Perry, governor of Texas and possible presidential candidate is a very far right Christian of sorts and he will be holding or organizing and supporting, a day of prayer and fasting to be held August 6 at Houston’s Reliant Stadium; this is a Christian only affair and probably only evangelicals are welcome.
The Freedom from Religion Foundation filed a suit saying, dude, it is unconstitutional for government to endorse a religion, a specific religion because we guarantee the freedom of religion as well freedom from religion for all and the government cannot guarantee that when the governor is saying, this is the religion the government of Texas supports (official state religion of Texas?).
Obviously this will not stop the crazy religious governor from having his day of prayer but it should warn citizens of this country that happen not to be so hot into religion, disagree with evangelicals, practice a religion other than Christianity or are confirmed agnostics / atheists, that this man wants to be your president and he has a lot of support from the holy rollers of this country.
Do not remain silent on the side lines, speak up; I’m glad the Freedom From Religion Foundation is keeping their eyes open, looking for signs of a religious invasion of a great country founded on freedom of and from religion.
