The religious right are a threat to democracy. The Founders would definitely agree. And GOP politicians like Romney need to quit lying to pander to the religious right, saying things like the Founders wanted an official state religion and were devout christian men of God. That is patently false.

Yes, the Founding Fathers feared organized Christianity, especially the fire and brimstone religious right type. They knew the history of Europe, where organized religions took over government and created tyrannical theocracies, often resulting in thousands of people murdered and persecuted, which by the way is the opposite of what Christ would approve of. Almost everything about the religious right's political views is contrary to Christ's teachings. And the Founding Fathers wanted them hell out of our government and public institutions. Believing in "God" doesn't mean you let dogmatic cult-like religions infiltrate government and make laws. That is what the Taliban did. That is un-American.
