Rush Limbaugh has already caught on to this.  You should, too.   

There are some important articles about the Xtian right in the May issue of Harper's Magazine.

Atheists will particularly want to read  "Feeling the Hate with the National Religious Broadcasters," by Chris Hedges.  This is the article that has gotten Mr. Limbaugh most upset.  

"The most crucial part of his [Hedges] account is the way that previously disparate groups (Fundamentalists, Evangelicals, Pentecostals, etc) are uniting under a doctrine of Dominionism--'a belief that America is destined to become a Christian nation, led by Christian men who are in turn directed by God.' 'Under Christian dominion, America will no longer be a sinful and fallen nation but one in which the Ten Commandments form the basic of our legal system, Creationism and 'Christian values' form the basis of our educational system, and the media and the government proclaim the Good New to one and all.'
