The Christian Taliban in Missouri

I found this link on Huffington Post:

KMOV.com St. Louis, MO Top Stories:

Missouri legislators in Jefferson City considered a bill that would name Christianity the state's official "majority" religion.

House Concurrent Resolution 13 has is pending in the state legislature.

Many Missouri residents had not heard about the bill until Thursday.

Karen Aroesty of the Anti-defamation league, along with other watch-groups, began a letter writing and email campaign to stop the resolution.

The resolution would recognize "a Christian god," and it would not protect minority religions, but "protect the majority's right to express their religious beliefs.

The resolution also recognizes that, "a greater power exists," and only Christianity receives what the resolution calls, "justified recognition."
Is this still the United States of America or am I having an extended nightmare?

In a related story The Independent Reports:
Tony Blair has proclaimed that God will judge whether he was right to send British troops to Iraq, echoing statements from his ally George Bush.
If George Bully Bush and his sidekick, Tony Blair, really believe that - they should expect a tortured afterlife.
