Election 2000 Shows Religious Right Threat to Individual Rights
MARINA DEL REY, CA: This the 2000 election season heats up, the mixing of religion and politics is posing an ever-growing threat to freedom in America, said a senior writer for the Ayn Rand Institute.
"The presidential candidates believe in mixing politics and religion," observed Andrew Bernstein. "The threat to individual rights this poses is illustrated by candidates such as Gary Bauer, who advocates government censorship of the Internet, and George W. Bush, who has proposed that tax dollars fund church charitable activities. Religious conservatives have also been attacking individual rights by advocating the banning of abortion and physician-assisted suicide, by passing laws for public prayer in schools, and by mandating the teaching of 'creationism' in public schools."
