The Growing Dangers of American Theocracy and Its Impact on Contemporary Paganism, Wicca and Our First Amendment Freedoms
Presented by Phyllis Curott.
This talk explores the emerging threat posed by religious fundamentalism,
and what you can do as an individual, and we can do as a community, to
defeat that menace. Since the 2003 elections, the agenda of the Christian
Right has come aggressively into the forefront of American politics and its
impact is already affecting the lives of millions. We'll examine who the
players are, what they believe - including the specific dangers of Dominion
Theology and the Rapture --what their religious and political goals are, the
political alliances they've forged, and its impact on our right to practice
our spirituality in freedom and peace. We'll also look at the role of the
media, interfaith and other alliances, and the strategies used by the
Christian Right to seize control of our political system and examine how
those techniques can be re-appropriated by our community in its new role in
the politics of America. You can't afford to miss this discussion. It's
time to get organized.
