Salman Rushdie on the Politicization of Religion

 Bill Moyers and his segment on "Faith and Reason." Originally aired on June 23, 2006 on PBS.

This segment is very appropriate in today's political election cycle. The assault on women's health care, contraception and the collision with religion.

As Islamic theocratic nations enforce their individual interpretations of Islamic law, so are the Christians in America. Rick Santorum is a prime example of his Christianist statements about thinking birth control is has aided in the moral decline of society, schools and universities indoctrinate children into liberal thought and they start to question their faith or worst loose their religious faith, so the education should be taught in religious schools or at home by parents. These Christianist are outright hostile to the term and idea of Secularism and want society and governance to be Christian sectarianism.

America is in a major cultural and religious war, not because of secularists, which is what the country was founded on, but by the sectarians who want the intertwining of their beliefs into governance.

Who will win? Will be ultimately become a Christian theocracy?  We are quickly moving in that direction.
