New York Times (Meneilly)

 

Any religion that needs the government to support and subsidize it doesn't deserve to survive.

The religious right's mission is twofold. First, it seeks to gain control of the Republican Party apparatus at the state and local levels, with the eventual control of the Republican National Committee itself. Its second objective is to elect its candidates to hundreds, even thousands, of lower level public offices....

This religious right confronts us with a threat far greater than the old threat of Communism. When the state and the church become entwined, it is religion that is the loser.
-- Robert H. Meneilly. Government Is Not God's Work. New York Times (Aug. 29, 1993) Section 4, Page 15.
