Well if they actually feel that they must unite to defeat non believers that means that our common efforts to spread reason are becoming very effective.

Anyway the only way for the different religions to cease violence and be united is if they acknowledge
the falsehood of their own beliefs.

The only thing that the US ARMY needs is to put a big cross on the soldiers uniform, and they can revive the Crusades. They already have send young boys to die on a far foreign country in the defense of stupid ideas and some oil.

3. Teaching Evolution in Mexico: Preaching to the Choir

I live in Colombia and the situation here is similar to the report of Lazcano and the comment of Anzu, Colombia has a old Catholic tradition and is self labeled the Country of Christ´s Sacred Hearth, but theres a strong separation between Church and State even in times when the priests made political statements from the pulpit, promising heaven to those that belong to an specific political party.

But as Lazcano points out the importing of Christian fundamentalist churches are turning people to this kind of radical believes and away from the decaying catholic church. New political parties are being created and openly supported by Christian churches with specific agendas that goes against the Secular tradition in this country.

Theres still a lot of resistance from the public and the Catholic church against this advancements of the fundies but I also fear that with the constant increment of new recruits and financial power they can move their religious agenda ahead.
