I'm saying that I don't want help from this humanist organization for the same reason that I don't want help from the Bush administration's faith based programs: they're extreme, and they're justified on extreme terms. Why should my taxes go to Islamic causes? Are you happy with that yourself? I'd be really interested in seeing how you would defend Bush's encouragement of taxes being spent right here in America to support Islam.

The left wants to remove religion, and some people on the right want to impose it. We would be better off without either.

Google "Christian Reconstructionist" for one vision of an American theocracy.

Would you please give us an example of the "right" wanting to impose religion?

The Bush administration's faith based programs are extreme? How so?

If you don't like the federal government giving grants to any charities, I won't argue with that. But when you single out charities that are organized by faith based groups and you call it extremism -- you're wrong.
