DeMint, Akin Join Coral Ridge Ministries To Stop The "Secularization" Of America
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) and Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) appeared in a Coral Ridge Ministries documentary about the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, which they claim is covertly trying to weed faith out of public life. Coral Ridge Ministries is one of the leading proponents of Christian Reconstructionism and frequently makes documentaries about creeping socialism and the dangers of Obama’s presidency. Akin, who recently declared that “at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God,”
argued that the Center's lack of religious content shows that it “will
snuff out the light of freedom,” while DeMint argued that
“secularization is a forerunner of socialization” and will destroy
freedom.
