The watchdogs at Americans United for Separation of Church & State warned yesterday that the religious right may have been defeated in Tuesday’s national elections, but they are still potent at the state and local level.
“The religious right is not dead,” said the Rev. Barry Lynn, AU’s executive director, “but I’m happy that most Americans seem very wary of the movement’s reckless merger of religion and politics. Those of us who value church-state separation must remain on alert to counter the religious right’s next gambit.”
