This is a blogswarm dedicated to the separation of church and state.
It is not a blogswarm against religion. Bloggers who believe in religion, and those who don't, are equally welcome here. What we share is a common commitment to the First Amendment to the Constitution and its guarantee of church-state separation.
This is also not a blogswarm against a particular candidate or party. But the rhetoric coming from the Republican side, particularly in courting Iowa evangelicals, gives us all pause. Nearly every "social issue" can be seen as a battle on the grounds of religious liberty. It is the position of this blogswarm that separation of church and state protects both, and that freedom of, or freedom from, religion is a choice every American has the right to pursue.
Blog Against Theocracy is doing something a little different this year; we're just using the hashtag #AgainstTheocracy on Twitter and Facebook to promote our posts. I look forward to reading your stuff! Thanks very much.
