Theocracywatch.org - A Site Worth Watching

Theocracywatch.org is based at the Center for Religion, Ethics and Social Policy (CRESP) at Cornell University. Theocracywatch is not anti Republican nor is it anti Christian (conservative Christian or otherwise). Theocracywatch is dedicated to raising awareness of the threat to our democracy that is arising from a group of Christian extremists, some of whom were reviewed in earlier posts on this blog. Theocracywatch sees the threat as follows:

The ultimate political goal of the religious right is to turn the United States government into a vehicle for carrying out and enforcing their religious-based agenda. The ultimate legal goal is to make the U.S. Constitution conform to Biblical Law.

Whether you are conservative or liberal, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist or atheist, maintaining an awareness of the religious right and confronting their decidedly non-pluralistic agenda is a matter that we must all remain engaged in if we are to preserve our democracy.
