Resurgence Of Religious Right Among Top Concerns
The resurgence of conservative Christianity was one of the key issues affecting American Jewry in the past year, according to a new report.
The attempt by evangelical groups to reclaim America for Christianity was named as a key domestic challenge to the Jewish community in the Anti-Defamation Leagues annual top-ten list.
The increased role played by religion in the countrys public sphere was reflected elsewhere on the hate watchdogs list, highlighting the intense public debate on Americas legally-enshrined separation of church and state.
The list points out that a special report commissioned in June supported claims of a pernicious climate of religious intolerance at a Colarado Air Force base and that a new Congressional petition backing the right of chaplains to use specifically Christian language proved the problem was still current.
