One of the things that's annoyed me the most in our current era of politics is how the Republicans/conservatives have annexed religion. The basic idea is that if you're a Christian, you almost by genetic edict HAVE to be a Republican/conservative. Morons like Falwell and Robertson have made this point over and over again, even stating it's the responsibility of Christians to get Republicans in office.
Horse manure.
Now it seems some websites have started up in rebellion to this idea, to try and mute Dobson's Focus on the Family and Perkins's Family Research Council. Here's the links:

As Jim Wallis, the evangelical Christian behind the Sojourners, said: "God isn't a Democrat or a Republican." and "Since when did believing in God and moral values make you pro-war, pro-rich, and pro-Republican?"
This agnostic says amen to that.
