Adherents of the new religious right reject the separation of politics and religion, but they bring no spiritual insights to politics.
When I was in school, all our history books were American, so we learned American history, not Canadian history.
I think that what went wrong with religion is the same thing that went wrong with politics. Is that it became too money based and too controlling. It's just a weakness that we human beings have for control - we want one thing and then we want more and then we want more.
