"The Constitution of the United States, for instance, is a marvelous document for self-government by Christian people. But, the minute you turn the document in to the hands of non-Christian people, they can use it to destroy the very foundation of our society. And that's what's been happening."
Pat Robertson, the Christian Coalition

"You say, 'You're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and Methodists and this, that and the other thing' -- nonsense! I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the anti-Christ!"
Pat Robertson, the Christian Coalition

"If anybody understood what Hindus really believe, there would be no doubt that they have no business administering government policies in a country that favors freedom and equality... Can you imaging having Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini as defense minister, or Mahatma Gandhi as minister of health, education and welfare? The Hindu and Buddhist idea of *karma* and the Muslim idea of *kismet*, or fate, condemn the poor and the disabled to their suffering. If a child is lame and starving to death with flies all over his face, there is no need to help him. It's the will of Allah... Obviously we wouldn't want that, but once we believe that the Christian tradition is no better than any other, and once we believe there is no distinction between our systems and those of India, Sri Lanka, China, the Congo, or the Soviet Union, then we will be ready to surrender anything we have."
Pat Robertson, The New World Order, page 219

"Indeed, it may well be that men of goodwill like Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and George Bush, who sincerely want a larger community of nations living at peace in our world, are in reality unknowingly and unwittingly carrying out the mission and mouthing the phrases of a tightly knit cabal whose goal is nothing less than a new order for the human race under the dominion of Lucifer and his followers."
Pat Robertson, The New World Order

"What Christians have got to do is take back this country, one precinct at a time, one neighborhood at a time and one state at a time... I honestly believe that in my lifetime we will see a country once again governed by Christians."
Ralph Reed, former executive director of the Christian Coalition

"Atheistic secular humanists should be removed from office and Christians should be elected. Government and true Christianity are inseparable."
Robert Simonds, founder and president of Citizens for Excellence in Education

"When we get an active Christian parents committee in operation in all districts, we can take complete control of all local school boards."
Robert Simonds, founder and president of Citizens for Excellence in Education

"We are talking about Christianizing America. We are talking about spreading the Gospel in a political context."
Paul Weyrich, founder and president of the Free Congress Foundation

"I want you to let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good. Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism."
Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue

"The [Supreme} Court by seeking to equate Christianity with other religions merely assaults the one faith. The Court in essence is assailing the true God by democratizing the Christian religion."
John Whitehead, founder and president of the Rutherford Institute, The Separation Illusion

"I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over and Christians will be running them."
Jerry Falwell, America Can Be Saved

"Christian values should dominate our government. The test of those values is the Bible. Politicians who do not use the Bible to guide their public and private lives do not belong in office."
Beverly LaHaye, Concerned Women for America

"Clearly our nation was founded for a particular purpose and that purpose was, among other things, the propagation of the Gospel of Christ."
Bill Gray, Legal Advisor to Gov. James of Alabama, in defense of his grilling applicants for state government positions on their religious practices
