“Atheism is still very much alive today. In contemporary America, it has become most militant, seeking to expunge all vestiges of Christianity from public life by going to extremes about the separation of church and state. This time, too, the devil is cunningly using it as a maneuver to fire up Fundamentalist zealots who want to contaminate politics with theology. The fiend behind their fair-seeming designs knows well that the inevitable consequence would be: legislation that mandates faith in a quite Medieval way, by stipulating what people have to believe in and how they must worship. Eventually this can have only one effect, to destroy religious freedom in America, with disastrous consequences for both dissenters and the country itself.” (Edwin de Kock, 7 Head & 10 Horns, 45)
