What's so curious is that in this religion-inflicted country of ours,
the same evangelicals, conservative Roman Catholics, and others who had
been running around post-Roe insisting that America had a "Christian
foundation" and demanding a "return to our heritage" and/or more
recently trashing health care reform as "communist" and demanding the
shutdown of the government in order to overturn this "communist"
invention by a "non-American" president, ignored the fact that one great
contribution of Christianity was a commitment to strong central
government. For instance, this included church support for state-funded,
or state-church-funded, charities, including hospitals, as early as the
fourth century.
-- Frank Schaeffer, "Send the Bill for the Shutdown to the Religious Right"
