Harris: Separation of church and state 'a lie'

In a lengthy interview with Florida Baptist Witness, struggling U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris asserts, among other things, that the separation of church and state is a fallacy.
"We have to have the faithful in government and over time," the Witness quotes Harris as saying, "that lie we have been told, the separation of church and state, people have internalized, thinking that they needed to avoid politics and that is so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers."

'Michelle Goldberg's study of the rise of Christian Nationalism,
and its adherents' strategy to use the courts to further their agenda'

Michelle Goldberg, a journalist who writes for Salon, defines Christian nationalism http://www.talk2action.org/story/2006/5/11/151212/239
as the "Christian worldview" that envisions Christianity governing "every aspect of public
and private life, and that all -- government, science, history, culture, and relationships
-- must be understood according to the dictates of scripture." Christian nationalists
have "biblically correct positions on every issue, from gay marriage to income tax rates."

These believers are also known as dominionists. Dominionism is a theology drawn from
God's instruction to Adam in Genesis (1:26-27) to take dominion over the animate and
inanimate world. As Goldberg explains, "dominionism is derived from a theocratic sect
called Christian Reconstructionism,
which advocates replacing American civil law with Old Testament biblical law." <-snip

Snip-->

Christian Nationalists dominate today's Republican Party.

Goldberg conducted her research much as an anthropologist might; she traveled to Texas,
Colorado, West Virginia and other places to mix and mingle with Christian nationalists
at the grass- roots level, in their churches, conventions and other places where they
congregate. She asked questions and listened to answers. In her book, Goldberg cites
a 2002 study regarding the "strong influence" of the religious right "in eighteen state
Republican parties" and "moderate influence in twenty-six others." As she no doubt
correctly suspects, "their control has only expanded since then."

Katherine Harris, President Bush's favorite Florida election official and now a
Republican candidate for the Senate, recently provided a good example of Christian
nationalist thinking, when asked what role people of faith should play in politics
and government. She responded as a Christian nationalist might, including advice on
how to evade the law that prohibits using tax free funds for political purposes. <-snip
