(The Constitution requires neutrality.) As to the Religious Right, it is hyped way too much by its opponents; we aren't going to have any "blue laws" out of DC any time soon. On the other hand, the frequent scummy attacks against those people (as opposed to black Democratic churches or those who pour blood on military property, etc.) bring those of us who are decent, intelligent, and moral correctly to their defense.
