The fundamentalist chokehold on American politics seeks to destroy the religious and cultural plurality on which the country, and the Declaration of Independence, was based. These theological divisions – which pit believers against non-believers, and those who believe correctly against those who don't – are a major contributor to America's sharply divided politics. When someone believes he or she holds absolute truth, there can be no compromise, no middle ground, and no discussion. Fundamentalist Christians feel that they and they alone are the only true Christians. Do you agree with their black and white reasoning?

Fundamentalism - Christian, Islam, or any other religious ideology - is the antithesis of progression. Fundamentalism's dangerous anti-science stance threatens the world's environment, reduces the efficacy of American education, and leaves citizens unprepared for life in a global economy. Fundamentalism is shrouded in ignorance, backed by authoritarianism, and places an enormous amount of trust in individual leaders. To free us of the religious chokehold, citizens must recognize, and actively vote against the powerful political machine of the Fundamentalist Christian right. Do you agree?
