At the annual Religious Liberty Council Luncheon July 1, The Rev. Charles Foster Johnson, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, San Antonio, Texas, urged BJC supporters to challenge "uncivil religion." Johnson said, "Religion in the public square has been stripped of its civility."
A disease of uncivil religion has infected our land," Johnson said. "This disease has been incubating for 25 years, but has reached epidemic proportions in our current time of terror. The motivation of uncivil religion is not to recognize God in our national life, but, rather, to represent him. The high priests of this uncivil religion desire not so much to speak to God in the public square, but, rather, to speak for God."
