I recently did an interview with Liz Janes, a musician and singer, who lamented the Bush administration’s use of God in all things political. She made this interesting point: “Oh man, just the whole “God Bless America” thing is so awful. Do you remember all the billboards that came up after 9/11? God Bless America at the Holiday Inn, egg breakfast for $2.99. I just think with the combination of terrorism and the Bush administration, state religion has flourished in a scary way that’s not good for the church at large.”
