"Many have commented on the success of the Christian Right in entrenching itself in power. It has been explained that individuals identifying with the Christian Right take great interest in contributing action to promoting the agenda of the Right. They have a high turn out rate at the polls and their commitment to Christianity motivates them to work, even without pay, for the electoral success of candidates of the conservative Right. Churches, in-spite of their tax-exempt status, often get themselves overtly involved in politics.

"The claim by  Christian Reconstructionists that they do not advocate political action would appear merely playing to the gallery given their recent hobnobbing with potentially revolutionary right wing groups like the League of the South. Karen Armstrong, former nun and writer, flatly warns of a potential for fascism in Christian Reconstructionist thought, while Chip Berlet puts it bluntly that the Reconstructionists are a "new form of clerical fascist politics."

"Christian nationalists believe in a revisionist history, which holds that the founders were devout Christians who never intended to create a secular republic; separation of church and state, according to this history, is a fraud perpetrated by God-hating subversives. One of the foremost Christian revisionist historians is David Barton, who , in addition to running an organization called Wallbuilders that disseminates Christian nationalist books, tracts and videos, is also the vice-chairman of the Texas Republican Party.

"Even though the book and videos are riddled with factual errors, half truths and distortions, they have become the weapons of choice for Religious Right activists in their ongoing war against separation of church and state. In recent months, Americans United members from around the country have discovered letters to the editor in their local newspapers repeating Barton's charges. The videos have aired on public access and religious stations from coast to coast, and crates of the books have been shipped to evangelical churches for distribution."
