For nearly four decades, Texas activist David Barton has barnstormed statehouses and pulpits across the nation, arguing that the separation between church and state is a myth and that America should be run as a Christian nation. Now, he’s closer to power than perhaps ever before.

US and UK politics, religion
@TucsonSentinel From my vantage point on this side of the pond, there seems to be precious little separation between church and state in the US as it is
To be fair, the Church of England is represented in our undemocratic second chamber, which really needs to be abolished
But most of the Christian influence on government in the UK seems to come from funding by the US Christian right
Great...
Just what we need here...
Yet another nationally known embarrassment to add to our state's rapidly growing list...
Too rapidly.
@TucsonSentinel Sorry, this is wholly un-American, so he can F right off.
Let's look at some religious state solutions around the world.

Hard pass.
@TucsonSentinel Really ties the room together as far as Speaker Johnson is concerned, doesn't it?
@TucsonSentinel He might want to outlaw Irish citizens too, but I think they are protected by the Constitution.
