Start a Pagan Faith Based Program - Cry Discrimination if Funds Not Given
Advertisements [?]
Ok, I'm sick of Bush's 'faith based initiatives' and the resultant funneling of US tax dollars to Christian organizations with radical right wing, radical evangelical Christian agendas. The Christians are crying because they say that secular policies are trying to 'stamp out' their faith.

So here's how we fix it, and help them comprehend the problem with 'faith based initiatives'. Have a Pagan organization, or better yet a Satanic (a la The Church of Satan) organization put together a proposal for a community service program. Have them apply for funding under the 'faith based initiative' program.

If the funds are denied, sue for discrimination against their religious beliefs. Cry and moan about how the government is trying to stamp out Paganism and Satanism, which are established religions. Point out that under the First Amendment, the government cannot discriminate in favor of one religion or against another religion.

Either the whole 'faith based initiative' nonsense will be stuck down as unconstitutional OR Christians' tax dollars will be going to the Church of Satan. Either way, I'd be satisfied.
