I must agree-- religion itself is dead. However, a living, vibrant faith in a loving God is one of the hallmarks of a successful and purposeful life. Unlike those who merely exist to disagree, Dubya has created a program where the single most potent element of human existence (thnx, System of a Down!) faith, can and should be used to raise our country up from moral decay. Because Bush realizes the importance of Faith in everyone's daily lives (yes, even athiests have faith, they're just a little confused), he has implemented Faith based initiatives. And if I hear separation of church and state again, I'm gonna flip! This principle was established by our Founding Fathers to keep the government out of religion, not the other way around. Our country was founded on the very morals that God has instituted from day one of Creation. If you don't believe that, move to Antarctica, where anything goes.
