    Even the most devout Founding Fathers recognized the inherent danger of religious doctrine having a say in the Republic's affairs.

    If American freedom is threatened by people exercising it, it doesn't deserve its reputation as the shining beacon to the world that some folks think it is.

    I don't like them either. But to say they're the "biggest threat to freedom" is dangerous territory -- to defend freedom is to defend their right to exist and think as they do. That's the hard part about freedom: standing up for it when it means giving extra rope to the folks you don't like.

    Chances are good most of them think that people like you and I are the biggest threat to freedom! Better to just not go there: if you want to oppose something, oppose specific ideas rather than a vast group of people.

    Any group operating automatically at the "groupthink" level is a threat to individual freedom. All the fancy sounding patiotic names these groups saddle themselves with doesn't hide the fact that they are unAmerican, anti-American and want to brainwash others into believing what they believe. It isn't limited to evangelicals. It is everywhere. Each group believes it has the "right stuff" and everyone else is wrong. They are powerless to believe otherwise since they are simply imperfect human beings trying to make sense of a world they fear so they band together, like with like, and try to survive what they perceive to be a hostile world. :)

    I am a Christian and I will have NOTHING to do with the teachers or teachings of man in the so-called modern evangelical movement (I just refer to it as the 5 churches of Revelation).

    Christians today do not understand or even recognize that they've been taken over by the MONEYCHANGERS. Notice how alot of church teachings today revolve around the giving of money and tithing scriptures, and how some of these churches and preachers actually state we should be giving 90% of our income to the church and keep 10% for ourselves?! (Read Dave Ramsey's book Total Money Makeover.) They actually have to audacity to claim we can receive bigger rewards from God by doing exactly the opposite of what is written in the Bible regarding tithing. It says we are to give 10%, not 90%. Can anyone say MONEYCHANGERS??

    This is exactly why Jesus overturned the tables in the temples of his day!

    But, no....the average Christian doesn't want to admit that; heck they don't even want to know. Nope, they'd rather just go on being duped, not reading their Bibles and arguing with those who try to open their eyes.

    There is a really fun movie out there called They Live. I think it's halarious and I see it as the perfect analogy for what I'm talking about. In this movie there is a scene where the one guy who has been given eyes to see (the sunglasses) is trying to get the other guy to put them on. It's a simple request - put on the glasses so you can see for yourself (study and read your Bibles so you can know for yourself)... but this HUGE fistfight ensues, and takes up about 10 minutes of the movie just in trying to get the guy to put on the glasses, but he is just soooo convinced that he doesn't need to. This is what is happening between Christians today!

    In the book of Revelations, 2 churches know something the other 5 don't. Because the 2 are in the minority, the other 5 feel so good about themselves, they buddy up, they are so convinced that their majority rule is right.

    But Jesus said in his messages to them that he has issues and things agains't them. He doesn't say that to the minority 2!

    I just hope and pray the Christians of today start opening up their Bibles and reading what the Lord has to say to the churches. Because it isn't pretty.

    And time is running out.

    I'm not a participant in such movement, but I do not see it as a threat to Constitutional freedoms. How do you?

    the rise of American evangelism is a triumph of marketing. a jewel in the crown of free market capitalism and as such, I think Americans (US) should be proud of it.;)

    I don't understand. What it is about this movement that you dislike, and what threat to freedom do you see. I ask this because I am unaware of the movement, and judging by the reactions of everyone else, there is a problem with it.
