Atheism

This part is the real scary part though:

Traditionally, in America, the Bible is best taught, and best understood, in the home, and around the hearth, as a family

The thought that the home would be only place where kids would learn about the bible is terrifying. This is how we get cults.

The religious right hates it when the laws they pass to attack other people are used against them.

The concept of separating church and state is to protect both of them from each other. Once you merge the two, the state is subjected to a one party morality that hurts everyone. The church becomes subject to the laws of the state in a way that binds it to government processes and takes away its autonomy, essentially capturing it by the politicians.

Don't merge the two, it's better for everyone. Unfortunately, those that control the church do so because they want power and they'll gladly leverage their cults to try to give them the power of the state.
