I find it amazing that she considers separation of church and state to be a Nazi like idea. When I was in community college a few years back there was this guest professor from Baylor speaking about how at least in the West nations that don’t have an official state religion tend to not just have higher religious diversity but also higher church attendance than those who don’t. Was an interesting lecture.

Not surprising, Baylor is a stronghold of Baptist tradition. Among Baptists, it is the proponents of separation who are the traditionalists, while the politically active religious right types are the radicals.
