10:32 AM - Sound familiar?

Ran across a disturbingly prescient passage at a friend's blog while lying in bed last night: The Christian religion has...a very definite and recognized place in the ideology of [the dominant right-wing party]. The State desires a close relation between culture and religion... It protects and promotes Christianity as a whole, but grants full liberty to its members in regard to their confessional allegiance. While this might sound like an fairly apt description of Oklahoma's faith-based initiative, it is, in fact, a pre-WWII description of the interaction between church and state in Nazi Germany, from Church and State on the European Continent (London: The Camelot Press, 1936), pp. 123-24.
