In a speech last week, Sarah Palin promoted belief in God as a form of patriotism, dismissed notions that "America isn't a Christian nation," and denounced a federal judge's ruling that it's unconstitutional for government to declare a National Day of Prayer.

Drake: I think it's appropriate to pray for the will of God. I'm not saying anything, what I'm doing is repeating what God is saying, if that puts me on somebodies list then I'll just have to be on their list.

Colmes: You would like for the president of the United States to die?

Drake: If he does not turn to God and does not turn his life around I am asking God to enforce in imprecatory prayers throughout the scripture that would cause him death, that's correct.

About a third of the respondents to a survey sent to Christian activists maintained that the American Civil Liberties Union was the most dangerous group in America. The second most dangerous were gay rights groups. And 5% of the respondents said militias were the most dangerous.

Traditional American values scored very low among the conservative Christian activists surveyed. About 80% declared that members of the above "dangerous groups" should not be allowed to: make a public speech, run for public office, demonstrate in public, or operate legally. Only 44% said these "dangerous ones" should not be allowed to teach in public schools.

In cooperation with the Institute for First Amendment Studies, the Bliss Institute, of the University of Ohio, conducted a 1997 survey of conservative Christian activists. Of the 1200 contacted, about 600 responded to the comprehensive survey. The results represent a cross-section of between 200,000 and 400,000 Americans.

The respondents were almost all white (97%) and a majority were male (62%). Seventy percent had college degrees (of which 47% claimed post-grad degrees). Income level was moderate, with 65% earning $50,000 or more a year. Fifteen percent earned more than $150,000 a year.

Almost 100% surveyed identified themselves as one form or another of conservative Christian, with 71% stating specifically, evangelical Protestant. Eighty-six percent believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible, saying that Satan is a real being, and Jesus is the only way to salvation.

Sixty percent believe the world will end in Armageddon, and 56% believe that Christians are obligated to try to convert Jews.

This survey was from 1997....I imagine things are much worse now.

I don't know atheism has been on the rise, so it might be a majority that's afraid it's getting smaller
