Twenty years ago, thirty years ago, the National Director of the ADL, Abraham Foxman, raised an alarm about the separation of church and state in America

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
"In 1994, we sounded an alarm. In our book, The Religious Right: The Assault on Tolerance and Pluralism in America, we said that "an exclusionist religious movement in this country has attempted to restore …"
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
" … what it perceives as the ruins of a Christian nation by more closely seeking to unite its version of Christianity with state power."
Alas, our call was not well heeded and we are beginning to see some of the consequences of what we identified."
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
"As a result, today we face a better financed, more sophisticated, coordinated, unified, energized, and organized coalition of groups in opposition to our policy positions on church-state separation than ever before. Their goal is to implement their Christian worldview. To Christianize America. …"
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
"Who are the major players? They include Focus on the Family, Alliance Defense Fund, The American Family Association and the Family Research Council. They … built infrastructures throughout the country designed … to actively pursue that restoration of a Christian nation."
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
"To quote D. James Kennedy, one of the most important and influential of today's evangelical leaders: "Our job is to reclaim America for Christ, whatever the cost. We are to exercise godly dominion and influence over our neighborhoods, our schools, our government, …"
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
"If their agenda was hidden 15 years ago, today it is in full public view. … judicial nominations, same-s*x marriage, & faith-based issues … an agenda that … goes well beyond legitimate engagement in controversial social & political issues to a fundamental usurpation of all that America represents…"
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The right wing theocratic figures he cites as instrumental in this movement were the founders of the Heritage Foundation, the architects of Project 2025, the people now using government to target LGBTQ people & non-Whites for persecution
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
This is what the ADL used to stand for. Whom they used to stand against.
Now they turn a blind eye to the goal pluralistic society and assist Christian theocrats to achieve their goal of a Christian theocracy, the destruction of America.
