Christianism Watch

They're mandating a Bible study elective in Texas schools, and they've geared the materials for a Protestant fundamentalist tilt. Money quote from the co-sponsor of the bill, Leo Berman:

"I don't believe there's such a thing as the separation of church and state. In fact, the First Amendment to the Constitution actually calls on the United States Congress to make sure, to ensure that people are allowed to practice their religion."

Acording to JewsOnFirst, "Berman recently gained notoriety by proposing the denial of all government services to the citizen children of undocumented immigrants." Sounds like a Christianist to me.
