time magazine -- my problem with christianism:

...So let me suggest that we take back the word Christian while giving the religious right a new adjective: Christianist. Christianity, in this view, is simply a faith. Christianism is an ideology, politics, an ism. The distinction between Christian and Christianist echoes the distinction we make between Muslim and Islamist. Muslims are those who follow Islam. Islamists are those who want to wield Islam as a political force and conflate state and mosque....

Sometimes, it's easy to forget that the "Christians" who are so vocal in the media do not necessarily reflect the views of most (or even many) Christians.

Sadly, its the fundies that speak loud and clear with one voice, so they are one that the money flows to.
