I call it a theocracy, where religion and government are fused into one. I think it's more of a theocracy now than it has ever been in my life.

Every politician in the world has an ideology, and ideology stems from religion.

[To regain power] the Democrats just need to stick to the message that the American people are the most important assets. Most people who are religious really do want to help society.

First, Bush went on TV and gave his personal testimony. Then, the Republican party began to look at ethical issues...they chose political issues that would galvanize right and wrong, like gay marriage, abortion, the war. Then, Bush began to use religious rhetoric and claimed that God chose him to be the leader.

Nothing is more dreaded than the national government meddling with religion.

Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments – and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education.
