Neo-Christians

Jimmy Carter on the Neo-Christian movement. Hint: Jimmy doesn't think these folks are really Christians at all.

Rather than the commonly feared scenario of relgion taking over the state, a political party has taken over major segments of a religion for purely political ends; the result looks very much the same as religion taking over the state when the party responsible holds nearly absolute power over the Federal government. But in the process of adapting relgion to poltical ends, doctine has been twisted in ways Jesus would have never approved of and the traditional values of Christians have been discarded for ones more in line with corporate-imperial America's values.
