Fighting the Christian Right

An unreconstructed enemy of the religious right, I was fascinated to find a new online community which seems to be dedicated to dumping the bucket on the US wing of this aberration.

Okay, so we are wary of single focus outfits, and the jury is still out. But I will be keeping an eye on this one.
Their Ad campaign certainly catches the eye and intrigues, though I haven't really seen the claims elsewhere.

What they say about themselves:

The Campaign To Defend the Constitution is an online grassroots movement combating the growing power of the religious right. We will fight to uphold the First Amendment's guarantee of separation of church and state and will oppose efforts to control and distort religion, education, science and culture in ways that ultimately threaten the health and well-being of American society.

DefCon: The Campaign to Defend the Constitution will work around the clock to:

• Alert the public to the dangers and risks posed by the growing fundamentalist influence in our nation;
• Build and mobilize an online community of concerned Americans willing to raise their voices;
• Mobilize concerned scientists, political leaders, and theologians to help Americans understand what is at stake.

DefCon will provide mainstream America with a countervailing voice rooted in original American principles, focusing on respect for:

• Separation of church and state as a core value in law and public policy;
• Independence of the judiciary – safeguarding the courts from archconservatives who wish to undermine the Bill of Rights;
• Science, medical research and technology and their crucial role in economic prosperity;
• Individual privacy including the right to decide for oneself whether to have a baby or how to die and equal rights for all couples regardless of gender.
