If ever you needed more convincing that the religious right and its bastard child, the New Apostolic Reformation, is full of hot air when it says all it wants is influence, look no further than a statement Bryan Fischer made on Focal Point on Monday.  He says, straight up, that the First Amendment doesn't apply to anyone else except Christians.  Watch for yourself.

 
Fischer even goes as far to say that the states still have the right to set up an established church if they so choose, since the First Amendment only says Congress can't make a law setting up one.  Never mind that it has been well-established that the 14th Amendment's liberty clause is binding on the states.

Fischer claims that it was "a good thing" that no state has an established church anymore.  However, it sounds like he's perfectly OK with the state constitutional provisions that bar people who don't believe in God from holding office, even though the Supreme Court made it pretty clear that those provisions can't be enforced.

Well, you can't say Fischer didn't warn us of what was in store in the Christian America they'd like to create.
