War on Religion? What War on Religion?
When GQ’s Marin Cogan attended the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s annual conference this past weekend, she hoped to hear heated rhetoric about Obama’s “war on religion,” a phrase that appears frequently on the Faith & Freedom’s website. Yet Cogan was disappointed, remarking that “the only person I heard use the term ‘war on religion’ was, well…me.” However, Cogan notes that while the phrase itself was absent from the conference, the sentiment was not. Ralph Reed, the founder and chairman of the organization, stated that, “[the Obama] administration has demonstrated an insensitivity, if not outright hostility to religious belief and the expression of religious belief in society.”
