Virginia #1 in Fun-damentalist Fun-draising

There’s a lot of “fun” in this blog title, but digging a little deeper I have discovered that Evangelical fundraising is serious business … especially in my home state of Virginia. It seems that Virginia leads the pack in raising dollars for Evangelical causes and uses the money to further erode the separation between church and state.

Consider that when you add the fundraising and college tuitions garnered by the Pat Robertson Empire, the Jerry Falwell empire, and the ultra-conservative American Center for Law & Justice, these Christian fundamentalist groups raise close to a Billion Dollars per year.
