Quote: a desperate desire on the part of a vocal, uninformed minority
Vocal and uninformed? Yes. Minority? No....The political power that the Christian churches wield in our country is the only reason I.D. is even being remotely considered by any school boards at all.
Minority? YES. Sure, most North Americans attend church at some point in their lives (and deaths), but most of them are NOT behind this attempt to stupify the masses. The key phrase is indeed politcal power, which in the USA at least, is only rarely a reflection of the majority. Probably the same most other places, too.
Political power here is simply the ability to manipulate the voting system (people, officials, boundaries, laws, etc..) into placing the specific people needed into positions of power -- eg. the USA presidency -- from where they can then pay back that favour in whatever means is required.
A voting majority is not necessary for this, and even when obtained it does not necessarily reflect the majority view on any specific issue.
